Our family party of eight had a wonderful weekend at Michael’s place for a special birthday. The house was very good, spacious and comfortable. The two bathrooms were a bonus. The kitchen was well stocked and we had brought ground coffee so were pleased to find a plunger to use. The location of the house was excellent for very good evening meals at the nearby Irish Pub and for exploring the island on foot and in our rental cars. Arrival and departure were managed easily. I would certainly recommend this house to other family groups wanting to visit Aotea/Great Barrier.
