It has been a delightful 2 weeks' stay at Susan and David's property. The property is tastefully furnished and has every single thing you'll need for a comfortable stay - well equipped kitchen with stove and microwave; pantry which is stocked with cereal, fruits, bread, milk, coffee, tea, condiments; spacious bedroom with electric blanket; sofa with a cosy throw etc. Most importantly, everything is sparkling clean and well maintained.
My favourite spot is at the table top with two cushy bar stools as it is the perfect spot to set up my laptop with a warm cup of drink, right next to the full length window which looks out to a tree with blooming pink flowers. On days with good weather, the sunlight will bask the place in such a pretty light.
The location can't be better as it is right next to the Parihaka Scenic Reserve, Hatea River and the Town Basin. As hosts, Susan and David were very friendly and welcoming. They were always contactable if we had any questions. All in all, it has been a really enjoyable stay and it definitely deserves top ratings.
