We stayed at Jan's place for two nights and we visited some attractions in the area like Hobbiton, Hamilton Garden and the Waitomo growworm caves, they are all within about 1 hour of driving.
Jan's place is located just in front of the Waikato River, its one of the best area in Hamilton. View is stunning and surrounding is nice and quiet. House is large, comfortable and clean. Jan is friendly and introduced us to everything that we need to know.
Everything you need like the cookware is there and nicely lay out. There are also some toys and board games prepared and its a really nice touch. I have to say we are very lucky to be Jan's first guest, and I do highly recommend Jan's house to anyone who pass-by and stay in Hamilton.
