This rental is located in a quiet, rural community that is close to the beaches in Raglan and to the largest town in Waikato region, Hamilton (both about 45 minute drive). We also explored Tauranga and Rotorua areas from here (both about 2 hour drive). The house is old with a lot of charm and is well maintained. It has great WiFi connection. Michelle is a natural host and communicated with us promptly and clearly. She provided chocolates for our arrival and cakes on our departure :) Overall, great experience!
