Clean and comfortable beds, and fully functional kitchen to cater the needs of the family. Plenty of space for large family, and on top, very responsive property manager.
A fantastic stay with a lovely cosy feel and lots of great outdoor spaces. Leanne was very accommodating considering our last minute booking and the communication was excellent. The house was well presented with all things you'd need for a short or long stay.

We're glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for leaving the house in great condition, you are welcome back anytime!
Clean house, kept us nice and warm when the winds were howling outside. We had an issue with the council sticker not being supplied so we couldn't chuck out the rubbish, but Leanne was quick to respond to communications and resolve it. Would definitely stay again!
This will definitely be one of our favorites from now on. Very clean and exactly as advertised. Real value for money. The hot tub was super clean and warm and obviously a hit.
This property was as we expected, clean, tidy and heaps of room for us all. As it is a quiet area, we were able to rest and relax which is what we all needed after attending the event we had come to NZ for..
Communication with Leanne was so easy and she was always contactable,and would always answer any questions/queries we had. I would definitely recommend this property for your break away from home.
Really relaxing place to stay - large rooms and great outdoor space. Plenty of seating for a large family like ours.
Loved the option of having linens provided - this saved us so much packing and washing at the other end!
Shame there is no spa anymore.
But other than that loved the place.
The best spot to unwind after a few days biking on the Timber Trail. Such a great living area for a group of people and sheltered outdoor area. So warm and cozy inside with heat pumps in every room, what a treat! Highly recommend.
A nice comfy home with all amenities you could think of, including comfy beds. Spa was a warm temp but not the spa temp us ladies had hoped for and TV reception is pretty dodgy, which i think I read in the listing and then forgot to download netflix movies before leaving. Would def stay again, and a great location to complete the Waikato River Trails.

Hi Jess. As discussed a previous guest had tampered with the spa temp. All sorted now. There is nothing at all wrong with TV reception here, in fact it's great! You should have called for assistance if you were having trouble. Glad you enjoyed you stay otherwise!
The whole property is really nice open plan dining relaxing all in one! A perfect place for entertaining so much space. Bedrooms are all spacious the beds are amazing i had to look to see what kind of matress ot was and then went and brought the topper aswell it felt like i was sleeping on a cloud..
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful house with us.
Where do I start, Leanne's home has the most relaxing ambiance. Myself and my family had a wedding to attend, so we booked Leanne's property at last minute. Leanne's communication was almost instant. The house was more than big enough for us all, and has a great outdoor entertainment area! Highly recommend, and we will be back for sure
This is a clean and comfortable house for our grown family of 7. Host was responsive for check in details. We enjoyed the stay and wish we had more time to spend in that area. It is in a neighborhood but not close to groceries so plan accordingly. Rubbish disposal procedure is not clear.
