Incredible venue, amazing hosts
Was lucky enough to stay at this beautiful property for 3 nights recently. Modern, tidy, well presented and having a pool and hot tub was an absolute luxury, while the pool table made for great entertainment. Hosts were incredibly friendly, communicated well and went above and beyond to ensure i had all i needed. Highly recommended!!!

We had a super stay for 11 nights in this accommodation. We were visiting our daughter who is based in Hamilton so it was a great base for us and the perfect location for exploring round the area and doing day trips in the North Island.It was spacious, clean, a well equipped kitchen and the use of the tennis court and pool table were great.The hosts were lovely, really friendly and very accommodating making sure we had everything we needed.Would thoroughly recommend.
