Colleen and Clive are some of the loveliest people you can meet! They welcomed us with open arms, and as the sign on their porch says, we came in as strangers and left as friends :-) Our room had a veranda perfect for a romantic glass of wine with a great view. The location worked well for us to go to the Waitomo/Ruakuri Caves, Hobbiton, and the Rotorua thermal pools without driving too far either way. They have a wealth of board games and movies for rainy days, which we partook in one morning, and they also gave us great recommendations to visit less known places. We absolutely loved feeding their friendly ponies and alpacas! Colleen and Clive have a beautiful house, and we felt right at home coming back each evening from all our activities!!
