Great sized property and location

We were meant to be 6 adults and 4 children but circumstances reduced our numbers. But we continued with this booking and were so glad we did. The place looks smallish from the road but it is a very good size inside with everything you could need (except a clothes dryer - which doesn't seem to be a Kiwi thing). We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to coming back with the full family group.

Hi Rhonda, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the great review. That’s a shame your family couldn’t make it this time. We look forward to hosting your family another day soon!! Craig.
