Drury
A rare find, and Juliet was wonderful!
Juliet provided:
Assistance in administrivia via e-contacts; milk, bacon, eggs & coffee; and sympathy for some grey nomads arriving after a too-long day of international travel and over-long queues. Thanks Juliet!
Her equally charming husband gifted us with some limes.
The place – ‘bigger than it looks in the photos’ (most places are cunningly photographed to hide how small they actually are).
The location – back from the road, private, it felt secure, great rural views from most windows and all windows look out on greenery. Nights are very quiet; a certain amount of (not close) rural trucking during the day from adjoining properties. 30km or so from Auckland Airport, 9km from Pukekohe which has all the routine shops one would need.
Very suitable for a long-term stay, if for example one had business in South Auckland and wanted to utterly shut it off at night. We could live there!
