The location of Raewyn’s place is perfect, especially for children. It’s almost directly across the road from the entrance to Pukekura Park, which has a great playground and in late December/January a Festival of Lights. The gardens, deck and swimming pool are amazing. The bathroom is modern and new, including a bath which is great for children. Raewyn welcomed us with cake and chocolate-dipped strawberries, and gave us lots of tips on restaurants that were within walking distance and directions for sightseeing. She was a wonderful hostess and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
