My mother and I had a wonderful 2 night stay at Donna's place in early December. We stopped off in Hamilton on our way from Whakatane to Bay of Islands. The accommodation was clean and spacious (with a big TV!) and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and we were able to catch up on our laundry. We didn't use the pool because the weather was a little too cool but it was great to sit by the pool and enjoy the view of the river. Communicating with Donna was prompt and easy. We had a great stay.
