We had a great stay at Julie's place. Their home is breath-takingly beautiful, it was sparkly clean upon our arrival. I loved the silk bedding and pillowcase, we had to leave super early in the morning and Julie was more than happy to make us breakfast and we had a feast at 6.30am with homemade muesli, grain toasts, croissants, an assortment of spread and drink. It was amazing. I have 3 young kids, and they enjoyed their time with Julie and John very much too. I would recommend Julie to anyone who's looking for accommodation in the Karangahake Gorge area.
