My wife and I stayed here because we wanted a place that was close to the airport and still within driving distance to Auckland, Rotorua (a fairly long drive), and Coromandel and very close to the Hunua ranges. We were happy with the place and our hosts were very nice and personable. The place was clean and as-described. The closest town, Papakura, wasn't all that interesting but had some restaurants that we ate at. Overall, the accommodation was great, was close enough to some cool destinations but the location itself isn't all that interesting, unless you are looking for a rural get-away.
