Relaxing time in the country

We loved the fishing nearby and it was close to many of the attractions the Bay of Plenty has to offer. The house worked well for our group and was comfortable and quiet.

Relaxing stay

Relaxing house which was very comfy. Good layout, beds and showers. Listing does need a little updating - no dryer and no washing line, wifi while free is not unlimited. But a good stay and Hannah was welcoming.

Lovely house in a quiet village

We enjoyed the house amenities and quiet streets, great for the kids to run around. Really appreciated we could have our doggo with us! A few inconsistencies with the listing (no dryer, no spa/hot tub) and a couple of repairs that needed to be made when we arrived (high chair backrest was split) but Hannah did her best to remediate these.

Perfect getaway

Very quiet and friendly neighbourhood feel to the property and surrounding areas. The house was nice and lived in which we loved, great big kitchen for cooking up/storing food, and we grilled some meat on the open fire outside. Heaps of space/rooms and two lounge areas for all our guests to stay. The girl who stays on the property (a little closer to the main house than we realised) was really friendly and accommodating. Overall, really great experience and would recommend.

Great little property, felt liek we went into a community not just a housewhich we loved

We had an absolutely great time. It was just the right size house. The kauri Point bay provided for many a lazy afternoon lounging while the kids played in the water. A clear bonus was the local kids inviting ours to play which meant a lot of new friends. Thanks for a great experience.
