Home away from home! LITERALLY! The pictures provided do no justice to this amazing place! If you're interested in a getaway that is quiet and close to nature, come here! Mathilde provides an amazingly spacious cozy and quiet place to stay with a great view. Perfect for a couple's retreat. Mathilde responds very quickly and in a very friendly manner. She provides a folder full of the house rules, wifi password and places around available to eat at or scenic places to visit, so handy! The guest house is joined to the garage of Mathilde's house so you don't hear anything from her side, which is great! She has provided plenty of items that make you feel at home, e.g. extra towels, extra blankets and pillows, food and drink, DVDs and books, toiletries, shes got it all! 1 minute walk from the local dairy, restaurant and bar, takeaways and more! The air-conditioner made the stay much better especially since it is summer. This place is literally off the main road (where all the shops are) and is 10-15 minutes drive from Papakura, Maraetai Beach, Kawakawa Bay and the mussel farm. Hard to fault this one. Thanks Mathilde for making our stay at your lovely home a great experience!
