This is the best place I've stayed on Airbnb. The pictures do not do it justice, it is so much more lovely and bright and refreshing than expected. There REALLY is enough room to sleep 13. The beds are wonderfully comfortable, the kitchen and amenities are perfect. Grace is the most generous hostess, providing special touches that made us feel so welcomed. She even came to the house to help me figure out the oven, (hint, there is a magic flap that must be open for it to work). While she was there she offered to find slip-n-slides for the kids to play on during Christmas, so kind! Our family from NZ came to visit us at the house and they are marveled at how wonderfully it is set in the countryside, only 5 minutes from all the shopping of Botany and easy access to everywhere. The airport is less than 20 minutes drive, and the motorway is only 5 minutes. The house is in a spot that feels remote, but is quite convenient to everything. Everyone who came wanted to book it for their next gathering.
The outside gardens are MUCH bigger and expansive than depicted. We wandered through paths and trails, and the grounds are meticulously kept. We slept at night to beautiful bird songs, and woke to Pukekos, rabbits, and a neighborly cat playing in the grass. Our teenage kids set up a badminton court in the lower gardens and played for days. I would highly recommend staying at Grace's place. You will not be disappointed.
