The quality and location of this airbnb is amazing, HOWEVER, there is a particularly loquacious rooster in the neighbourhood and given the very still and quiet nights (the reason we chose this setting) its crowing was constant and incessant from 4.15am to beyond 6.30am - one morning still going at 9.15 am ranging from 10 second intervals to 30 seconds (it is amazing what the mind finds to distract itself once disturbed!!!). . My wife and I are not particularly light sleepers but this was quite a shock to us city slickers. Aside from the sleep deprivation and assuming the rooster is banished to a foreign kingdom, this airbnb is fabulous. The location in the country is close to everything (Cambridge, Hamilton, Karapiro and Hamilton Airport). The setting within a beautiful horse stud property is a real feature to enjoy. Lynette keeps the airbnb spotless and the bed is comfortable and the shower is excellent. In all other respects this airbnb is excellent value for money and the loft itself is truly a great place to stay.
To be fair - another guest Stef back in January had mentioned about the rooster and brushed it off lightly as a feature of country living. This review is aimed at more urban guests who may have similar concerns with disruptive noise.
