Independent in Kereru from NZ$139

"The owners Carol and Max were friendly and welcoming. The unit was all we needed for a short stay and nice to be in a semi-rural setting. Heat pump provided the heating we needed when cold overnight and in the morning. Need to move a few things around to make space for making breakfast, however is workable. :-) "

"Such a lovely place to stay! Kitchen utensils all stocked and two gas cookers to cook with. Bed and couch super comfortable, and lots of firewood outside for when we ran out. ATV ride up and down was a great part of the experience and all our luggage fit! Wouldn’t bring too many perishables if staying longer than three days as even the best chilly bin can’t keep milk cold for that long!"

Really lovely property, perfect for a relaxing escape.Highlights for us included the fully fenced massive yard where our dog, Riley, could enjoy a good run and sniff.
