Perfect Location - close to a supermarket (and takeaway/dining options), but far enough away that you are definitely in the Country.
We chose it as our base because it was reasonably close to the climbing crags of Wharepapa South and a reasonably drive to other activities (such as Waitamo Caves, Hobbiton, Mt Piriongia etc).
Very pleased with our choice! It exceeded my expectations and obviously (like everyone else) we loved Mae (and I'm pretty sure Mae loves every human on earth)!
