A great space, big garden with mountain views. Fully equipped house, clean, fairly modern by NZ standards (We stayed in a few) Shops very near less than 5 min in car or 8 min walk. The gold mine was nearby and is a great day out. The beach a 10 min drive and is beautiful. The local park was nice we had a quite day and a picnic. Local cafes are good , had some amazing coffee in 2. The underground market is a must if you like different things to look at or wear. We stayed for 3 weeks and loved it.
