A wonderful home away from home! The space is much bigger than the listing makes it seem, and very well equipped. Plenty of spare blankets and board games for when the weather got a bit chilly, plus an enormous comfy bed with lots of pillows! The bathroom is also spacious, down its own little corridor, with a powerful shower and plenty of soaps and whatnots to really make you feel looked after.
The kitchen area is very fit for purpose and came with the usual mod-cons - note that there's no oven (as per the listing) but we were very happy with microwave/toaster/kettle/fridge. Well-stocked with teas and coffees and a lovely breakfast with a huge bowl of fruit as well as muesli, milk, and juice provided.
The space is only a five minute walk from the Redwoods forest and we loved going for walks every day. You're also only a ten minute drive away from the centre of town with easy access to places like Te Puia, and 15 minutes from the luge. There's a huge folder in the space where the hosts have put together lists of places to go along with local hints - really going above and beyond! Thanks very much!
