The house is clean, fresh and inviting.
The key in the dropbox was convenient for our check-in purposes.
There were fresh flowers in a vase when we arrived (a lovely touch).
15 minute drive to the new New World supermarket in Mangawhai makes grocery shopping easy.
The location is VERY peaceful, VERY private and the rolling green hills in the distance makes for a delightfully calming view of rural NZ. The outside undercover area was perfect to spend the evenings with a drink and the fireplace made it even more special.
The only negative is the lack of WiFi (we took our own portable WiFi dongle/modem - which allowed us to stay connected - it was slow /weak connection at the house - but worked most of the time.) If you NEED WiFi I suggest you do this too.
It is a wonderful spot to rest, relax and enjoy a break.
We would stay again.
