Not only was the space impeccable and located in an absolutely lovely place, Liz and Martyn made us feel like part of their family. They went above and beyond to insure our stay was comfortable! The place is right next to a berry farm and we got to go over and pick our own berries. I say rent the car, drive to the country and stay at Liz and Martyn's! They're close to the Waitomo caves, Hobbiton and not very far from Auckland at all. the photos and description don't do it justice! I can't wait to come back! Thank you both so much!
