The unit is under the main house but has its own entrance. Very spacious, neat and clean, with all the bedding and towels you could possibly need. We went during some chilly weather, but didn't even need the oil heater, due to the ducted heating from the main house.
It was also nice to have a large bathroom (not like the cramped ones in hotels) with amazing water pressure in the shower. A gas water heating unit meant that we never ran out of hot water. I was pleased to find soap, shampoo and a hairdryer available.
The full-sized fridge was most useful, and there was a generous supply of fruit, yoghurt, bread, teas, coffees and an array of spreads.
What I most appreciated was the beautiful, quiet neighbourhood, as well as the pretty garden to look out on. My son made use of the outdoor spa pool and we all benefitted from the fact we were less than 10 mins from the Whakarewarewa Forest for wonderful mountain biking experiences. Thank you, Linz and Marg for a really lovely, comfortable, and peaceful place to stay.
