Jeff and Callie’s place was just as described, which is why we booked in the first place! Easy to locate, safe off street parking, very comfortable bed, lots of light, cute little deck off the back that does overlook a fern filled gully :). Yes the birds were singing, just like Jeff described. Best if you have a car, in a residential neighborhood. It was super simple to access many of the areas outside of Hamilton from the house, no complicated driving through a downtown, which for people used to the right side of the road, was much appreciated! Jeff shared fruit from their trees. His passion fruit paired with vanilla bean ice cream bought 3 blocks away was fantastic! The hosts gave us our privacy, but were open to a chat if we wanted, perfect combination! Yes Jeff, we did visit both of your ice cream shop recommendations as we headed to Auckland, BOTH! :). Delicious!
