Maxine is a great host and the place is incredibly clean! Was great waking up with the sound of cute little birds and even better our dog was allowed as well! Canouck felt really relaxed at her place which means a lot cause animals don’t lie ;) There was coffee, tea and milk and all kitchen equipments needed in case we wanted to make food ourself. We highly recommend Maxine’s place if you need some real time to relax and be close to the forest and the well known Te Mata Peak!
