Can highly recommend a stay at this beautiful cosy hideaway. The room is very comfortable, looks out onto a little water fountain pool, and catches the sun nicely in the afternoon - all very relaxing! It has everything you'd expect, and things are wonderfully colour coordinated too. :) The neighbourhood is lovely and quiet, but not too far for a walk into town (and only a skip if you've got a car). I found it to be the perfect base for lake walks and the botanical gardens. It was also easy to arrange pick up for the Tongariro Crossing from here too. I looked forward to seeing little Digby dog at breakfast every morning. He's such a star - not too loud or anything! Most importantly, Kathy is incredibly friendly and helpful, and goes the extra mile to make your stay special. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and can't thank her enough. I really didn't want to leave! Sure you'd feel the same too.
