Great location, close to everything you’d need, and not far to head into Hamilton central. Although Pienaar’s place is jammed in amongst other houses, being slightly elevated and having a view over to Mt Pirongia helps you to feel like you have some space. We were a last minute booking due to changed travel plans, Pienaar was very accomodating with an earlier check-in. All in all, a great stay and good value.
A few small changes would take our stay from four stars to five:
•Some more cutlery/crockery etc would be welcomed, there are exactly four of everything, which is all you ‘need’, but does mean a lot of washing up after every meal, which feels a bit wasteful with a full sized dishwasher.
•Positioning of the single beds prevents the door closing all the way, no problem for us as our young kids sleep with the door open anyway, but if travelling with teens or someone who wants privacy it could be a problem.
•Double bed in the master… the room is big enough for a Queen.
