Karori ShortStay is a gorgeous, peaceful sanctuary in the bush and we couldn't have asked for a better host than Brent. My husband and I and our two children (2 and 10) stayed for a week and wished we could have stayed longer! The house is spacious, comfortable and super clean. The kitchen was well appointed. Large windows let you take in the magnificent surroundings. Our children especially enjoyed walking down to the stream in front of the house and playing by the water. Brent was a kind, gracious and communicative host, who shared a wealth of knowledge about the property and the wildlife in it. We really hope to visit again sometime in the future!
