The house is very pleasant to stay in and quite private with high hedges. The spa was great. The bed and bedding were super comfortable. Easy walk to town. The neighbourhood swimming pool is about 100 metres away and worth a visit.
We had an initial problem trying to work out how to use the sensor lock on the front door but the host rang as soon as we texted them and we worked it out. We have a toddler who could open the front door from the inside which was annoying. We did appreciate the portocot.
Would happily stay again.
For parents of young children the Kitcheners Cafe (open weekdays) has an indoor play area. The playground by the library and town hall is good, and the library/cafe is joined to a plunket room that families can use.
