We stayed at Tania and Ian's apartment for a week and received a very warm welcome from Tania and loads of goodies in the fridge, homemade jams and spreads, chocolate, milk and bread. The apartment is spacious and the bed super comfy, shower lovely and the kitchen has everything you could need, oven, hob, toaster, kettle and all the utensils. The washing machine is also a bonus. Countdown and New World in Cambridge are about a 10 minutes drive away. The area is very quiet and the apartment is very private, but Tania and Ian are on hand if you have any questions. There is also off road parking, good wifi and a massive walk in wardrobe ! The apartment is a great base to explore the surrounding area and Raglan, Rotorua and Mount Maunganui are all about an hour away. Hamilton gardens are well worth a visit as they are beautiful and free ! And about half an hour away. If we were back in the area we would definitely stay here again and would 100% recommend as a great place to stay! thank you Tania and Ian :)
