We used Joanna's lovely place as a base for touring during the Taranaki Garden Festival and Fringe Garden Festival in late October. Stratford is a perfect central point for the festival. We are two 50-something and 70-something women. We found the beds very comfortable and the unit is lovely and warm, with loads of room for relaxing. We also appreciated the outdoor porch area as a temporary home for our plant purchases! Joanna's place is extremely quiet and we slept really well. The kitchen has everything you'd need, including a full-sized fridge and a grill-oven. The bathroom is roomy and light, and the shower pressure is brilliant. We couldn't fault Joanna's place and hope to return for a future garden festival (also a fabulous experience).
