The house was beautiful to drive up to. The vines wrapped around the verandah, the size of the property to explore. The house is much more spacious than we thought and very comfortably accommodated 4 adults and 5 children. (3x bathrooms and 4x large rooms) Two outdoor areas to sit in and enjoy the country air. The children loved having their own space to hang out (under the bunk bed, the swing in the door, the dining room (a few dances were had in there with the kids) The sheep were great entertainment. The decor was great! We enjoyed exploring the gardens and were excited to find the 'secret' room on day 2. This provided a few games of table tennis. We would recommend this property as well as stay again.
Kate was a great host with quick communication. House was nicely presented on arrival and clean.
20 minute drive to Pakiri Beach where the kids enjoyed swimming in the lagoons and using the slide into the water. 20 mins to Matakana and only 5 mins to Wellsford.
