The house has a lot of personality, in the middle of farmland. Yvonne had prepared a big bunch of carrots for the kids to feed the horses and sheep. We slept very well! Just a 20 min drive to Rotorua.
Just be prepared that there are no restaurants close which are open late, the winery closes at 17.00 and the Fish and Chips place was closed at 19 when we were looking for food and the grocery store next to it has a very poor variation, come prepared. Next stop is Rotorua.
