We stayed here for four weeks when relocating to Hamilton from overseas. We had already been living out of a suitcase for many days when we arrived, and we really appreciated all the small touches that made it possible to rest the day we arrived, rather than rushing out to shop for things to make it through the first night. A nice selection of breakfast things, toiletries, and even laundry powder, was all prepared for us. The kitchen was particularly well-equipped, even for our large family, with a full stove, microwave, large fridge and freezer, and an ample selection of cooking utensils, pots and pans, storage containers, a rice cooker and toaster. The unit had ample bedding and multiple possible sleeping configurations, including a sofa bed and air mattresses - again very useful for our larger group.
Looking out the window, you would never realise you were close to town - the windows look out onto a lush gully with a little creek at the bottom. A deck overhanging the gully was under construction while we staying, and will no doubt be lovely to sit out on when complete. Down the road is a community centre with many fruit trees and little vegetable garden, where friendly neighbours were actively inviting us to pick what we wanted. There is a New World grocery in walking distance, as well as closer smaller fruit & veg and dairy options. A bus stop is just down the street for easy travel into the city centre. There are a number of striking walking trails nearby, and the Hamilton Gardens are an easy drive or a longer walk.
Communication was very prompt and helpful both before and during our stay. We will be recommending this place to friends coming to visit later this year.
