Wow! Rabbit Hill is by far the best place I stayed for in NZ!
The unit is brand new and stylishly decorated. It isn’t cluttered, has nice wooden panels and a big window with a sundeck overlooking a beautiful garden. In the afternoon the sundeck is drenched in sunshine! The unit has lots of privacy, its own entrance, parking and is situated in a very calm rural area. In the garden you can see Mt Taranaki. The main house is 2 min walk, but not visible from unit or sundeck. If you love the sound of cows, birds and frogs, this is your place!
Inside the place you have everything you need: comfy couch, tv with Netflix, freeview, some books and wifi is good. The living room can get warm after a day of sunshine. When you leave and keep curtains closed, then it is fine! The bedroom is spacious and has a firm mattress. The bathroom has a good size. Shower is hot and has great water pressure and a massage shower head. There are some shower necessities (shampoo, cream etc). The kitchenette has a plunger, kettle, fridge (with small freezer), toaster, microwave and oven. There is a tool to make eggs in the microwave and further more all the crockery and cutlery you need to make breakfast and basic dinner. Sianne provides a selection of good quality tea, and there is coffee (grinded and instant) and milk.
Communication with Sianne was very fast and pleasant. If there is something you need, she arranges it. Her explanation on how to get there was also very good.
I find Kiwis can be too polite with their comments on airbnb and say things like “highly recommended” very fast. As a Dutch I am more critical, but this time all I can say: I highly recommend staying at the Rabbit Hill!
Thanks Sianne, for a couple of days of pure relaxation! Staying three nights here was a perfect start of my long road trip on the North Island!
