Colleen is a superb host, really goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Her place was perfectly situated for visiting a range of different sights, including the hot springs in Rotarua, the beach in Tauranga or hot water beach in Kawhia, as well as the glow worm caves in Waitomo. Everything an hour or so away. I loved the smaller town feel and ease of Te Awamutu rather than staying in Hamilton. The apartment is under the main home with easy access and plenty of parking either on site or on the street. Wifi worked wonderfully as did the heat on the one night I needed a bit of extra warmth. Truly a great experience.
