House was gorgeous. Suited our family perfectly. The location was great and we loved all the native birds and had a visit by the local family of Weka. Driveway wouldn’t be suitable for a two-wheel vehicle as very steep and we struggled getting out with an all-wheel. May be easier in summer.

Lisa, we’re so pleased the home was a great fit for your family and that you enjoyed the peaceful setting and visits from the local Weka.
Thank you for your comment about the driveway. While there is a noticeable incline, it is pictured in the listing and generally manageable for two wheel drive vehicles, particularly in dry conditions. We will continue to keep an eye on feedback to ensure expectations are clear for future guests.
We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing escape.
