Keith and Debra’s property is located in the quiet countryside just side outside of Hamilton. In typical Kiwi fashion Keith was welcoming and incredibly helpful, taking the time to show us around and provide some helpful local hints for places to eat and things to do. The house is modern, clean, warm (it was winter), and well appointed with washing machine/dryer/dishwasher/full kitchen/Sky TV etc. It looks out over picturesque farmland and has front facing floor to ceiling windows which was great both for soaking in the view and letting in the warmth of the morning sun. The continental breakfast, milk, fruit and bread provided was greatly appreciated. Auckland, Rotorua, Hobbiton and a number of walking tracks are all with 60-90 minutes of this location. This is a great escape if you are looking for the serenity of the countryside but the convenience of still being close to a metropolitan centre. We would definitely come back again.
