Mar 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Rhonda K.
