Great getaway with friends

Great, clean and warm property for a winter getaway with friends. We enjoyed sitting outside on the large deck listening to the tūī in the trees during the day and kept warm by the fire in the evening. The property has a good well stocked kitchen with everything we needed, plenty of bathrooms and a washer and dryer which was very handy. It was also within walking distance of plenty of cafes and restaurants.
