This barn house was amazing. Clean, well appointed, warm in winter and good value are must-haves for us and this was perfect. We stayed with our 2 year old who had the best time - the entire place felt very kid friendly for her. We were within minutes to town/grocery store, Huka Falls, Omuheke hot springs and there’s even a little playground in the neighborhood. The Waitakere river was our “backyard” and made for nice morning strolls. Julia was an excellent host. Communicative and so gracious with all our questions. We are eager to return for a summer visit!
