We loved our week long stay at Barbara's guest apartment. It's a fully private space with its own parking, patio, and washing line outside, and Barbara's beautifully designed garden and yard really add to the comfortable apartment. I could watch native NZ birds feeding outside the living room window, which was a delight every day. Inside, the beds were comfortable, the heat pump kept us warm (Hamilton can be a damp and chilly place, but not at Barbara's!) and the kitchen is thoughtfully equipped for making simple meals, which is really great while travelling. The washing machine and dryer were very helpful too. My husband, daughter, and I were very happy during our stay, and the added bonus is the fabulous location. Hamilton is a car city, but Barbara's place is near enough to walk along the beautiful Waikato River and to walk to the Queenwood Shops, where the wonderful coffee shop Jam is (as well as a great takeaways shop for fish and chips and Chinese food, a dairy, and various boutiques). The location is really special. Thanks for a lovely stay, Barbara!
