Jess was a lovely host. We were asked about our food allergies and preferences before we arrived which was great. The choice of breakfast left for us was perfect for our needs plus there were a couple of treats as well. Very welcoming. The room is away from the house so it’s completely private with its own entrance and parking for one car. Jess and Jay have two lovely dogs that are very well behaved but are a delight to interact with if you love dogs, and no problem if you’re not fussed either way. There is intermittent road traffic noise during the night from the near by highway but we slept with the door closed and we didn’t hear it at all. Otherwise it’s a very quiet rural setting and very secure. Would definitely recommend and stay there any time we need a place to stay in or around Te Awamutu.
