Mark's place is tucked away at the top of a hill on the outskirts of town and has some great views. The place itself still being added to when I stayed, but was very well designed and looked after. The outside hot tub is a very lovely touch, and if it had been cloud-free, I'm sure there would have been some amazing star-gazing opportunities to boot! Mark is very friendly and helpful, and he is very easy to talk to. I would recommend his place to anyone wanting a quiet get-away, to visit Waitomo, Hobbiton and other sites nearby. I could imagine the large dining and living room area (a former double garage) would be a great area for children to play in, as would be the huge grassy garden - and there are his cows to look at in the field just opposite. Thanks again for a great stay!
