Julie has gone all out to make her home welcome to all. A home away from home would be the most accurate description! I asked if it would be possible to have a late check out as I wished to hike Mt Te Mata and Julie was more than obliging. She was friendly, and very generous with sharing every part of her house, I clouding providing breakfast, teas, coffees, juice… you name. She’s thought of every detail! I certainly recommend a stay at Julie’s - what a gem of a find :)
