Amazing place, loved everything about it. We were very lucky to have stayed in such a stunning place
From the moment of seeing the place we knew it was going to be a special stay. Everything about the house, the views and most of all the wonderful helpful owners made for a sensational stay for our family gathering. We liked the place so much we even looked at some other houses in estate agents during our stay. But the house itself was amazing, great bedrooms, lounges and a perfect size kitchen dining area and deck. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Thank you.
Our most sincere recommendations to everyone. We had an unforgettable time and we will come again.
Jenny, Graeme thank you one more time for giving us opportunity to stay in your house. Whish you all the best.

The property is stunning with everything a family could need to make their stay enjoyable. The location was great as well, a very short distance from Matamata and Te Aroha, which are charming little towns and Rotorua, with everything it has to offer. I highly recommend this property to any large family who want to have a memorable holiday experience.

Absolutely amazing house! In a rural setting, very peaceful and quiet, with great views towards Mt. Te Aroha. Very spacious, nicely equipped, with nice touches, to make it homely. For a challenge, try counting the objects featuring cows inside the house ;) That turned out quite an entertaining game between us and the kids. A warning - it's not easy! We had a great stay - we only wished it could be longer! Thanks Graeme and Jenny for the wonderful experience!

Amazing comfy home with gorgeous views. Everything was clean & ready for us & we had a lovely warm welcome from Jenny & Graeme. Fully equipped kitchen which "made" me want to cook & bake. Lovely parent space upstairs. Te Aroha & Morrinsville close by for supplies. We all turned electronics off one clear night & star gazed while lying down on the front deck. AMAZING. Peaceful relaxing haven. We loooved it. Thank you Jenny & Graeme.

We loved this place.
We loved this place. The house was so spacious and beautiful, quality fittings throughout and a great kitchen.. We were a large group of three families and the house made us all happy. The view to the mountains was a fabulous bonus. The location is great; the local area is historically interesting and provides terrific walks and bike riding of all levels.. And it is only an hour or two drive from so many top places to visit - Hobbiton, Waitomo Caves, Rotorua, Hot Water Breach, Auckland.
