This proved a great place to serve as our base for seeing Hobbiton and Rotorua — and a springboard to the Waitomo glowworm caves. The unit is compact but so complete, with washing machine, simple kitchen and much appreciated air conditioning. Melissa was an attentive host, responding promptly to all our requests. Highly recommended for those traveling to the area. (And do play her “Lord of the Rings” edition of Monopoly after visiting the Shire.)
