Our stay with Jess was short but sweet, just staying one night on our way back up to Auckland from the south. And for this we found it to be absolutely perfect. Located in the beautiful countryside surrounding Hamilton it has the best of both worlds with a secluded rural feel but only a few minutes from the bars and restaurants of the city.
The room itself was great in a massive flat above the garage, it was separated from the house and therefore offers a lot of privacy and freedom for the guests without feeling like you are treading on the family's toes.
Although we didn't arrive in daylight the view of the open farmland under the spectacular nights sky was beautiful and could have been enjoyed from the comfort of your own private balcony had it not have been winter.
Although we didn't see much of Jess, she was very clear with her communications and instructions before our stay and was happy to help when we couldn't initially access the internet (that was very good when we did connect).
