Zane's place gives a good impression of what it's like to stay between the rimu and kauri trees of the Waitekere Ranges. The house nicely blends in with the forest and the decks at the back allow you to really feel the forest.
The place lets us down a bit by the lack of a shower when renting the duplex room. While the guests of the other rooms were kind enough to allow us to use their shower, it is just rather disappointing and frustrating to have a bathroom with just a bath and no shower.
The duplex room is located at the ground level and, while there is a door at that level, guests staying in that room will have to enter through the lower level by going down some steps and then, once inside, go back up the stairs. This makes no sense.
The mattress on the bed is firm, but unfortunately the linen provided feels cheap and synthetic. I would have preferred good quality cotton - specially in hot summers!
Apart from these issues, it was a lovely place!
