Joanna was a wonderful host, with super quick responses to my questions before booking she made the whole experience super easy.
We received check in information including detailed directions, which was super helpful as the property was semi rural, and there were multiple vehicles in our group. Getting into the property was simple with an easy to find key lock box.
Location was 10/10, so close to New Plymouth but still rural, with a beautiful view of Mt Taranaki. The house itself was down a small bank and away from the road noise, which gave peace of mind having children.
The outdoor area was amazing, with a large table that could seat 8, and a unobstructed view of the river, we could easily see the kids on the trampoline too.
Our group really loved the open plan of the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas. The different zones meant we could as a group hang out, even cooking dinner you were able to be involved with conversation in the lounges and dining room,
but there was also adequate space spread out if we wanted to.
With a large group, having 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets was a must, and bath was an added bonus, the washing machine and dryer was great for our group also.
We really like the layout of the bedrooms, again having children with us, we were able to keep them close to master bedroom upstairs.
In addition to the wonderful property, location and amenities, Joanna was a really lovely host. The night before out check out, Joanna quickly responded to my message for a late check out, which was so thoughtful, (she didn't have to respond on a Saturday night, but she did) going the extra mile for us meant we were able to have a sleep in.
Thanks again Joanna, we had an awesome stay!
