We had a lovely stay. The house is big with lots of character and our kids loved having the tennis court and basketball hoop to play with. Maori Hill is a great central area to stay in with beautiful old homes, a bush walk, good restaurants and cafes and a local supermarket. Bronwyn and Rodger were really friendly and provided us with helpful tips for things to do. They popped in to make a coffee in the morning, but otherwise we hardly saw them. We did find it slightly harder to relax having the owners downstairs as we were a bit more conscious of the kids behaving and keeping the house tidy, but would still recommend this as a place to stay.
