Susanne and Peter's place is amazing, the little cottage situated on the hill is so beautiful, filled with homely touches throughout, ( such as fresh milk from their cows ) Susanne has thought of everything; we arrived on a cold afternoon and we were pleasantly welcomed with the heater already on for us, (we especially loved the under floor heating in bathroom). The place was immaculate yet so comfortable, we felt so relaxed and totally enjoyed the tranquility of this place. Rotarua was only a short but picturesque drive of about 25 minutes away, however, there were some fanastic hot thermal springs(Waikte Valley) 15 minutes down the road. We absolutely loved our stay here and would love to come back one day when we visit this beautiful country again. (Special mention needs to go to the very warm greetings we received from Gypsy the farm dog every time we ventured outside).
