A great house, in a great location. As we were there for business, it was lovely to come back to a house at the end of the day (and not a hotel room). The back deck and flat lawn was a delight to have. Walking distance to the Redwood forest and easy access (10 min drive) to Blue Lake and Lake Tarawera makes it a fab location for doing some outdoor stuff. The garage is super big, so plenty of room for storage. Portia was super friendly, very communicative and responded immediately - thank you! :)
