The garden and surroundings are unbeatable. The location is beautiful, on a peaceful road in rolling countryside but Rotorua and its attractions are easily accessible - although if we came again we'd be quite happy never to leave the garden. It is absolutely huge. A trout stream runs through it with bridges crisscrossing it, there is a treehouse, pine forest, fields, a landscaped garden area, chickens, geese, sheep. It is breathtaking and a wonderfully rural retreat. A bottle of wine was waiting for us in the fridge which was a nice touch. The accommodation itself is basic (no oven or hob, facilities limited to a toaster oven and hotplate but there is a BBQ). This was fine as we wanted to be outside as much as possible. However, we could have benefited from some more comfortable seating, both indoors and outside, especially for rainy days. A lamp in the living area would be a worthwhile addition too so the evenings aren't spent in glaring overhead lights or in the pitch black. Overall, though, a good experience.
