Exactly what was needed

Such a great stay, thank you. Read some of the background on the place. Strange but true, I grew up in Naenae between the early 60's to the early 70's.

We had a great stay here. Felt right at home from the minute we took our shoes off at the back door. Clean and tidy. Awesome space for the kids to get outside and sunny deck for the grown ups.

It was quiet and made me feel at home and our dog loved it too. Lovely and clean and the native bush behind the house made for a nice little walk. Beautiful yummy plums too. I also loved the fact that there was no wifi our kids sat out and watched tv with us it was like being back in the old days when I was a kid lol 👍😁

The Country Retreat

This is a real little gem. Great location, and all you have to bring is your food. Everything is supplied (incl linen if you want). Very homely feel to it and it was interesting to read the history of the family. Thanks for making it the ideal stay. Cheers. Catherine

This is a comfortable place to stay, with cute 'retro' features (e.g. loved the yellow bench tops in the kitchen). The place was spotlessly clean and tidy, beds were comfy, and appliances and kitchen-ware all in good nick. The only downside was that the tap water was not safe to drink. This was a minor inconvenience and the owners had kindly provided a bottle of chilled boiled water in the fridge (thanks!). All in all, very good value for money.
