The host welcomed us on arrival despite us being later than expected and she was so lovely and warm. The hot tub was ready and waiting for us and she showed us around the house to everything we needed and even lit the fire for us just before we got there. It was way better than expected and the photo's don't do it justice, you have to see it yourself. The sunrise view from your bed is breathtaking as well. Celia's husband refilled the spa tub for us too which we definitely appreciated. Me and my partner highly recommend the hospitality of Celia and her husband and would happily stay here again. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The house is in a nice quiet spot to enjoy a lazy weekend like we did and is close to Thames and beautiful 1.5 hour drive to Whitianga. Thank you so much for such wonderful weekend!
