I stayed at this property with my grandson, after driving down from Auckland to watch the first ever motor race of the Australian Supercars series. The property is clearly not that old and was immaculately presented throughout. Being a short distance from the race track at Ruapuna raceway it was ideal for our requirements. We enjoyed having a bedroom each being separated by a large and comfortable central area containing the kitchen, dinning, and lounge. The fitted heat pump was able to quickly heat the whole of the living area, after our return in the evenings. The building is set in a large area of land, offering light, sunshine, and privacy. We loved the outdoors lighting, which helped with returning after dark. Whilst the property has all the facilities you would expect in a family home I was disappointed that there was no heated towel rail to warm wet towels, whilst we were away during the day. I liked the well compiled information brochure, and felt the property represented good value for money, and would have no hesitation to book again in the future.John Taylor
