We wanted one night break our trip of virtually the length of the North Island, so looked for somewhere easy to find, quiet and with two bedrooms to accomodate our adult son as well as my husband and I. The house is behind the owners, not a lot of privacy if we had wanted to sit on the front deck but quite private behind the house if we were staying longer. Lovely big lounge with comfy sofas and my husband could work the TV so he could watch Wimbledon on SkySport! Comfortable beds and wonderfully quiet till the dawn chorus - which in the rural setting is noticeable to townies. Nice shower in the bathroom. Nearby takeaway places served our dining needs and a fresh clean kitchen although couldn't find a cloth to wipe the bench. While the dog that settled itself outside the back door seemed calm and eventually wandered away again, I'm not keen on unknown dogs having access to my living space. Easy to find petrol station nearby and the expressway to continue our journey.
