Our party of four stayed at John's place for two nights. The place was easy to fine and in a great location between Greytown and Carterton. The pictures were not accurate - the place was bigger than we had imagined. The kitchen and lounge were spacious and each bedroom was roomy. Great water pressure, plenty of amenities, and just a comfortable place to stay. The WiFi was a bit choppy at times, but nothing major (might be an issue for gamers, though).
We enjoyed hearing the birds each morning. For light sleepers, the house is situated on a farm, so expect to hear cows in the morning.
Fantastic place to stay. It felt like home.
