Anyone looking for an oasis in New Zealand look no further! My husband and I stayed our first 2 nights in NZ at Suse and Rods place which was a pretty easy drive from Auckland airport! It’s quant, beautiful and so peaceful! The place has everything you would need and might I add the shower is AMAZING!!!!!! We loved the open windows and air and seeing the cows in the morning. There are two cute towns with restaurants about 15-20 minutes away while the more tourist attractions (Cathedral Cove/Hot water beach) are about 40 min or so, but really not that bad! We personally love peace and quiet and a place to unwind and just open a bottle of wine and relax and this was the place! Not to mention how wonderful Suse and Rod we’re giving us sooo many wonderful tips and advice while also giving us privacy. They are WONDERFUL! You will feel so welcomed here and I recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in NZ!
