Carol's place is a fantastic place to stay. Carol and Glenn are amazing hosts who go the extra mile to make sure that their guests feel welcome. We had access to everything that we needed (and more) and our dogs loved being able to have some open space to run around and play in. Animal lovers will be delighted when they get to meet the other residents at Carol's as well.
Definitely a place that we would consider staying at again next time we are visiting the Manawatu.
