A really good holiday house that we would happily recommend to every traveler. The hosts are super friendly and helpful through the whole process of booking and getting there. The house exceeded our expectations, and we were really impressed with renovations done - like double-glazed windows, new carpet and curtains and of course a bathroom which is upgraded to a modern urban standard. A cosy fireplace, nice furniture and very good beds bring comfort and relaxation - just what you need. The location is super-quiet, but not overly isolated - you feel safe. Very close to the Whakataki hotel and pub and to Castlepoint.
