Rachel’s Adobe home is a lovely oasis in the mountains. Her home overlooks a beautiful estuary and has stunning views from the backyard. We felt we had plenty of space for our children to play and explore. There’s even a little sandbox that they loved! Every room has such character and we all slept wonderfully. The kitchen was well-appointed and we didn’t lack for anything. There is a beautiful beach close by that we also enjoyed.
Rachel goes out of her way to ensure you have a wonderful stay with her. She left personal touches such as fresh flowers in our room, treats upon our arrival, as well as toys suitable for our children’s ages. She ensured we arrived safely, providing us with local weather updates, as we were due to travel through storms. Her kindness with our 3 young kids, showing them her shell collection, & taking them to meet her chickens, are already among their favorite memories of New Zealand. Honestly, Rachel felt so much like family it made us miss our own!
