We lovedddd this Vrbo! It is exactly what we wanted. It was quiet, clean, comfortable. Each room had a fan, which was so nice cause we all liked it cool. We definitely want to stay again in the future but you’ll definitely want a rental car & not rely on uber (hard to get a car out there)

We loved our stay here. What a great introduction to beautiful New Zealand. Surrounded by lush green scenery and wonderful bird calls we enjoyed the peacefulness of this place after a hectic 13 hour flight. Had a question about the water and the host very quickly responded.

Fabulous place to stay

Stunning outlook, loved hearing all the bird sounds. Lovely clean place, with everything supplied that you could need. Plenty of hot water, no cold showers. Very close to restaurants and cafes but situated in a quiet, rural setting. Totally recommend.
