While I knew Ellie's place would be special, I couldn't comprehend until we arrived just how beautiful, tranquil and perfect her little slice of paradise would be.
It was truly magic listen to the river at night and waking to bird sings in the morning. Not a detail was missed either with so many lovely little touches. Highlights were definitely the outdoor firepit and spa. I was nervous the spa would be difficult to heat up but instructions were so simple (they also had it running when we arrived which may have helped).
Location wise, Rotorua is a short 15min driveway (if you can be enticed to leave). If like us though, you don't want to waste a minute away from paradise the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. The one thing we didn't bring was ice for the chilly bin, but the river was a great alternative to keep the wine and beer cool.
If you book here you will not be disappointed - a truly magical escape. Thank you so much for having us.
