Julian and Frances made us feel very welcome. The place was clean and lovely. Great amenities. Nice location. Beautiful aspect and close to Tauranga and lots of activities. Also in easy striking distance of Rotorura and Hobbiton (about an hour for each). The only downside is a little bit of noise from the main road when you're outside. But nothing to quibble about, not at all distracting. The main road is over 100 m away and there are trees in between, so it's just in the distance. Just don't go in expecting complete silence like you might get on some farms. Outside BBQ is great and you can sit at the table on the deck. I'd highly recommend the place.
