Perfect hideaway

House was gorgeous. Suited our family perfectly. The location was great and we loved all the native birds and had a visit by the local family of Weka. Driveway wouldn’t be suitable for a two-wheel vehicle as very steep and we struggled getting out with an all-wheel. May be easier in summer.
