Having just stayed for 10 nights with our 6 and 4 year old children as part of our round the world trip, we can only say this house is Amazing! You can tell its the owners own holiday home when all the amenities are quality fittings. The front decking is massive with jaw dropping views over the forest and bay of islands. The table and chairs are very comfortable, we dined outside most evenings. With no other house in site and no noise, it is very peaceful and the stars are breathtaking. We enjoyed the large property and played inside and outside in the massive carpeted garage and on the back lawn. The kitchen is the focal point with quality appliances. Fast WiFi with sky sports and Disney etc. The walk down to the boat shed is an adventure worth doing. The driveway is long and very steep in places, no good for towing which I suppose is why there is a boat shed and parking at the bottom. We drove into Russell most days to the school park, boat trips, ice cream parlour, fore Square shop and lunch at the Marlborough. Hone's garden restaurant is another modern top tip. Awesome house, very relaxing.
