Colleen really is a super host. Warm, friendly, non intrusive and goes the extra mile for guests. The property is spacious, clean and has lovely outdoor views. Lots of extras are supplied, for example, milk, bread, a range of teas and coffee, fast heating (I was in Te Awamutu over winter), electric blankets, comfy big beds, good lighting for study and fast wifi. All the mod cons available and is well priced accommodation. TA is now in the process of gentrification, it’s a buzzy little town with a friendly community. Short travel distances to lots of tourist attractions. Kiwi house in Otorohanga, Waitomo Caves, 15 minute drive to Hamilton Airport, 25 minutes to Hamilton. 20 minute drive to Cambridge. 40 minute travel time on the back roads to the west coast, black sand and the harbour/fishing/surf beaches of Raglan.
