If you're looking for a house that can accommodate a group then this is definitely the home for you. In the 5 years that we've been hiring houses, this place stands out as the best yet. In fact, we've already decided to rebook for our next trip because there's a number of factors that make it the perfect getaway; 1. LOCATION. We are all Auckland based and the fact that you can be at your destination and sipping on a Pinot within 30 minutes is amazing. No holiday traffic to contend with, no "are we there yet" comments from the kids, no car sickness and no tiredness on arrival. It's a quick trip from town, yet it feels like you're a lifetime away from the hustle and bustle of Auckland. 2. THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY. There is plenty of space, so if you wanted some time out you had somewhere to go. There's 2 lounges, another little reading room, 4 bedrooms, a dining room, a kitchen with a large island to congregate around and a fantastic outdoor space complete with heater to keep you warm at night. 3. PLENTY TO DO. There's plenty to do in Clevedon but we didn't leave the property as everything we needed was right there. We had a tennis tournament and established that none of us could play. We rolled the net back and had a friendly (but competitive) game of cricket, then headed off to the infinity pool to cool off, wandered into the garage to play table tennis.... then back to the kitchen for a vino. 4. ALL THE MOD CONS. From the audio system in every room to the bath that puts on a light show (you need to see it to believe it)... this house had everything you needed and more. There's Playstation for the kids, a large tv in the main lounge and a projector/media room to watch something special. We were there when the Parker vs Joshua fight was on so brought our decoder out, plugged it in and off we went. 5. GREAT COMMUNICATION. Rae was fantastic to deal with. Questions are answered almost immediately and nothing was a problem. She is professional, super friendly and one of the easiest Air BnB hosts that I've dealt with. 6. IT'S A FAMILY HOME. Because it's a family home, it has the right amount of lived in-ness. There's places we've stayed in where I worry about the kids breaking something or spend my time ensuring everything is immaculate. You can relax and enjoy the home as it doesn't feel too staged and perfect. There's only one CON to the property and it's that there's a second smaller "studio" to rent on the property. It was fine for us as our friends rented the space but if you had strangers in the studio it would have been a bit weird. You share the pool and tennis court facilities and there's only a small fence dividing the main house from the...
