This place is located in a semi-rural location next to a creek and surrounded by greenery at the edge of Kensington. With its quaint old-fashioned feature intact, we felt like we were holidaying at our grandparents’ house. Milk, cereal, crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils were provided, but no paper towels, coffee pods, butter or cooking oil. Leone provided the cooking oil when we asked. Apart from some insects and spiders coming in from the bathroom sky light/vent (which had to be left open for ventilation) and a couple of cobwebs (part of living close to nature) this accommodation is comfortable and Leone communicated regularly with us. Out of 6 places we stayed at in NZ, this house is the coldest (we stayed here for 5 days in a surprisingly cold November), but the reverse cycle air conditioner warmed the place up quickly. Plus there were electric blankets on all the beds. There was also a laundry shared with guests staying in a cabin, that we could have used.
