It was our first visit to the Waikato and we wanted accommodation that would impart the character of the area to us. This property did exactly that with the immediate surroundings of trees and gardens and also the view to the distant countryside. The proximity was ideal as well for the day trips we did. We would sit on the verandah at dusk and watch the rabbits and quail running around, very special. The house was airy and light and amenities were all that one could wish for. We were lucky to have had the excellent experience that this property afforded us. My advice, "go and enjoy it" . Cheers, Jim and Janeen, Christchurch.
