Our family of four needed a place for the night before Hobbiton. We had the first tour booked, so wanted to stay close by, and also be in our path from Taupo. Kirsten's place suited perfectly. It is quite a large place, with a garage you can pull your car into, and washer/dryer convenient for the travel laundry.
The place was spotlessly clean, and comfortable. While we were a bit too tired to make use of the hot tub, we ordered pizza delivered from a local place, and were happy tenants. Kirsten has a pantry with some goods available for breakfast and such - thoughful, and handy.
The lock box checkin was simple - note that as you drive into the residential cul-de-sac, the driveway is on the right.
