"What a wonderful clean open place to stay. I found the hosts great communicators and therefore I felt most welcome. I was invited to walk their garden and make myself at home. They were not home during my stay, but I did not find this an issue as they always available online. All instructions for check in and out were clear and concise. I will definitely stay again and recommend the place to others looking for a cosy, warm quiet and private place to stay. The kitchen was well equipped and there were coffee and tea items available in the pantry. I was also greeted with a complimentary bar of chocolate and fresh oranges from their own garden -a nice touch. In my opinion, I think this lovely one bedroom place is more for a single person or couple, given the layout and available space. The couch does open to a bed if required perhaps for another person or child. Highly recommend. It’s proximity was perfect-being 7-10 minutes to Thames township, and a few minutes to a lovely beach below."

"This was such a lovely stay. My family and I booked the place for a night but when we arrived and saw how beautiful it was, we had to extend for another night. They have an amazing collection of games and books to keep you occupied. And their music taste is amazing! It was calm, peaceful, and infinitely cozy. The hosts are wonderful and kind and generous. The location is beautiful and near the Karangahake gorge."
