We enjoyed the peaceful country setting, with a rural outlook, which felt private. The sky at night was amazing in the darkness. It was only 7 kms to join the River Ride at Tamahere. It was great being able to collect a couple of eggs each day from the hens in the back yard. It was very handy having a washing machine and drier, fridge, toaster and kettle.
Great having separate bedroom and living room. If I owned the place, I would swap the rooms, so that you entered through the sitting room.
It would have been handy to have a couple of cooking dishes to heat food in the microwave. A little induction hob would have been useful, but there was a frying pan supplied, so we cooked on the outside bbq. TV with freeview (no apps). Good shower and hot water. Comfy queen sized bed. Nice decor.
A little plastic basin for washing dishes would be helpful, as there is only 1 laundry tub (in the combined laundry/bathroom) to be used for everything including brushing teeth and washing hands.
