This house is so beautiful. Honestly the pictures do not do it justice. The house is huge, and so peaceful with beautiful outdoor areas. We felt so relaxed there that we were happy to come home at the end of the day and just relax with some wine instead of heading out. Honestly one of my favorite holidays stays we’ve had.
The kitchen is very well equipped and we cooked all our meals in, including a nice BBQ. But, a couple things of note, the bedrooms do not have air conditioning (the main rooms do) and fans do not seem common in NZ. We had a few days of pretty hot weather so the bedrooms were a bit toasty. Generally there is an ocean breeze, and I’m probably fussier than most with this. The two smaller (i.e. non-primary) bedrooms have glass in the doors and one of them has full glass doors. They are beautiful period doors, but our kids had some trouble with the light keeping them up. Honestly just a small heads up. Its a pretty flawless home otherwise.
