Ideal place to stay for last few days before our return flight. The house is conveniently located near to local amenities, besides the airport. Northland Pak'nSave and The Warehouse are nearby - easy to buy NZ chocs and another bag to carry them.
The main bedroom is separated by curtains, and our hosts had provided 2 beds in the living room, for our kids. All beds were soft and cosy. Despite the beds taking up some of the floor, still a lot more space in the room for us to sort out and re-pack our stuff/souvenirs.
The small kitchen is good for light cooking. The heater plates are on top of an oven, a bit too high for my wife. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained. We didn't explore the exterior - the weather was gloomy throughout our stay.
Adequate parking space for saloon car, near to the doorstep. Easy to load in heavy luggage into the boot during departure, especially very early in morning. Or when it's drizzling.
The place was well-prepared and warm when we arrived in the evening (later than planned). Helen and family have been a great host. Thank you, Helen.
