It was convenient for Fitzroy school (we are waiting for our house to be ready). Other than that not much available close by.
Great and extremely well maintained garden which was very helpful for the cat. Very good supply of kids toys and a kids' house to entertain children. Very clean rooms and bathroom/toilet. Well equipped.
Walking barefooted left our feet black, had to steam mop due to little crawler. Had to vacuum a lot too because the faux leather on the dining chairs kept flaking and little one kept trying to eat it. The kitchen area, pots and pans felt quite oily or sticky. The property was at an increased rate. I was concerned with being a nuisance to upstairs tenants due to young kids. We did hear the tenants move about at night too. We have experienced better in New Plymouth for this price.
Having said that, Sandra is very responsive and brought alarge wheelie bin when I enquired about where to put the full bin bags.
