Admittedly we selected this accommodation primarily due to it's proximity to Auckland Airport. Having previously driven up from Rotorua, it was the perfect stopover on our last night in NZ before a quick run in (approx 45 mins) the next morning for our flight home. As Pukekawa is situated south of the city (and the airport), we were able to avoid negotiating Auckland's notorious traffic for a hassle free connection with our flight.
The chalet was not quite ready upon our arrival due to the previous guests checking out late and the owners not yet home from work. However, their extremely polite daughters very quickly had the place spick and span for our stay and Alex promptly topped us up with teabags etc when he got home. The chalet itself was clean, comfortable and roomy for our family of 4. It's set at the rear of the owners 3-4 acre hobby farm, with ample privacy and a very relaxing view of the surrounding rolling hills and the resident horses, sheep, donkeys and goats (and 2 very energetic and friendly dogs!). Regretfully we only stayed one night, but if you have a vehicle it would be the ideal base to explore the greater Waikato region.
