Our stay here was truly the perfect way to cap off our month long vacation in Nee Zealand & Australia. The house was perfect for our 3 person family. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make a good dinner. The decor is modern & clean & simply beautiful. The first floor is where the dining area, kitchen & bathroom are located. Upstairs you’ll find a large living room area equipped with a terrific entertainment system, & a large bedroom.
The bathroom has a walk-in shower & no bathtub, which maybe an issue for some families. Our 7yo has no problem taking a shower. The bedroom is at the top of stairs which some may find troublesome. Again, my family including our 7yo, has no issue navigating them. Also, Wendy & John have several sweet dogs, a couple of cars & even THE cutest huge bunny running around the property. The cat comes in as she pleases. We LOVED this! We have dogs & cats at home & it made us feel right at home. If you have any opposition to animals (allergies?) you may not feel comfortable here. But, like I said, we (including our son) loved it!
The location is PERFECT! It’s away from the craziness of the CBD, but an easy uber ride. It took only 10-15 to get there by uber & cost only $7-$8. The neighborhood is beautiful with so many shops, grocery stores AND restaurants within walking distance. A gorgeous park is not far away. It is really a charming neighborhood!
There are many sweet touches in the home. There are many USB outlets conveniently located throughout. There was plenty of extra bedding if we needed it. Fresh flowers from Wendy’s garden also waited to us.
And, to finish...
Wendy & John really are wonderful! They were incredibly friendly & communicated with us easily. Wendy made us feel like long time friends that shared their home (located in the backyard from the main house where they live) with us. John & especially Wendy, confirmed what we experienced throughout New Zealand - The people of New Zealand are truly wonderful, unbelievably friendly & kind.
We are already looking forward to coming back here on our next visit - which we are already beginning to plan.
