This was a great place to stay for our last night in New Zealand. It was less than an hour to the airport so would be a good first night as well!! Rhiannon and Tony were helpful and friendly without being obtrusive. There were lots of little extra touches, milk, juice, cereal, eggs, flowers etc. The space was really well equipped with plenty of plates and kitchen utensils and several towels. We loved getting to know Seb the dog!! Helensville is a pleasant town with some interesting buildings and a nice Riverside walk with several heritage boards. Highly recommended.
