we had a most wonderful stay in this house. loved it right after we stepped in. so bright and lightfilled and homely and spacious and extremely well equiped. very quiet neighbourhood with amazing views of the mountains. one can tell, that the owner's visit as well. it has a personal touch and is not as "steril" as some other places can be. we wanted to extend our stay here but unfortunately the house was booked right after our initial booking. this house is really insulated what most houses we stayed in NZ are not. we are sure it keeps you warm and cosy in wintertime. the only little thing that wasn't perfect is that there were only 2 wooden chairs on the beautiful deck, no table or more comfy outdoor seating. some outdoor furniture, especially if you would like to dine or have breakfast outside, would be wonderful. because the view and the garden are so beautiful. and we had those warm evenings that were very inviting to spend them outside. But We would definitely (!) come back.
