Lovely spacious house in a very isolated plot on the side of mountain above Te Aroha. The house has lots of amenities but crucially does not have sterilised water supply so you either need to boil everything or buy bottled water (due to isolated location buy water before arriving). Lots of rules and regulations to abide by, most sensible, but they do make you feel you are walking on egg shells when staying, so not that relaxing. One safety point, new wood floors (no shoes allowed), the rugs do not have grip bottoms so very dangerously slippery, be careful of slip accidents. Also we had visits from host (and handyman) every day over 3 days there, be aware of this. As it's an isolated spot many people may not like people coming onto premise in such an isolated area.
