Firstly, Dave and Franciska. What outstanding hosts. They will give you as much space or as much help as you want. The property is brand new, well equipped and spacious, with a great wrap-around balcony/deck and BBQ space, about an hour from Auckland, the west coast or the Bay of Plenty, as well as Hobbiton. Hamilton, which is well worth a visit or two is less than 30 minutes away. This was a perfect, peaceful, "get away from it all but stay in touch" venue for a month-long study break, but would also make an excellent family holiday venue.
