I would highly recommend and we'll be back for sure. ##### Jon G. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa G.

What was extra special was the lovely plants , fresh roses on the table and some Christmas decorations. The pantry had some lovely treats to enjoy and nothing was spared on the thoughtfulness of toiletries including sunblock, toothbrushes, deodorant. Thank you for making our stay so special we had a wonderful time. ##### Lisa G. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Dec 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Book this property! It is an experience in and of itself to enjoy the countryside and farm animals present. The house is cleaner than any we’ve rented and is impeccably decorated as well. The hosts kindly left so much for us in the way of breakfast and comfort items. We made easy day trips to Waitomo, Hobbiton, and Rotorua from this spot (but once we settled in we hardly wanted to leave). We could relax and easily prepare our own meals in the well appointed kitchen. The beds were immensely comfortable. Air conditioning was a huge plus on the warm days we were there. Cannot recommend enough! FYI- made me nervous that hosts prefer to send property info the day of reservation but in the end we got it in time. Hosts live on property (but in separate building) so no worries if you need anything during your stay. ##### Michelle ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Beaches Turks & Caicos - ALL INCLUSIVE](https://www.expedia.ca/Providenciales-Hotels-Beaches-Turks-Caicos-ALL-INCLUSIVE.h197859.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Jacksons Point](https://www.expedia.ca/Georgina-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Jacksons-Point.h574484.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cuba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Cuba-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d44-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d5292-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Le Germain Hotel Maple Leaf Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Le-Germain-Hotel-Maple-Leaf-Square.h3988366.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Free Breakfast in Paris](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Breakfast.0-0-d179898-tHotelswithFreeBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Element Bloomington Mall of America](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Element-Bloomington-Mall-Of-America.h46073787.Hotel-Information) > > [Prestige Aberdeen Lodge Kamloops](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamloops-Hotels-Pacific-Inn-Suites.h3734507.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Clarion Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Clarion-Hotel.h6591.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [WestJet Edmonton (YEG) to Palm Springs (PSP) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-edmonton-intl-to-palm-springs-intl/ws/yeg/psp) > > [Flights from Newark (EWR) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ewr/del/newark-liberty-intl-airport-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ath/vancouver-to-athens) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Vienna (VIE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/vie/saskatoon-to-vienna) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Atlanta (ATL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/atl/edmonton-to-atlanta) > > [Flights from Belgrade (BEG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/beg/yyz/belgrade-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Atlanta (ATL) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/atl/yeg/atlanta-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cdg/toronto-to-paris) ### Activities ### Packages > [Nassau Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Nassau.d601784.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Israel Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Israel.d85.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Kouchibouguac National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Kouchibouguac-National-Park-New-Brunswick.d6089463.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Noisy-le-Grand](https://www.expedia.ca/Noisy-Le-Grand.dx5509)
