Everything we wanted for a weekend away & more - tranquil green surroundings & smart comfortable house with great bedlinen! It met our expectations perfectly - recommend it unconditionally.
Quiet, private and close to the dam. Well located for the activities we wanted for our teens - cycling, kayaking (glow worm canyon nearby especially fabulous), bird sanctuary and plenty of walks as well as the Arapuni bridge and trout fishing. We'll be back.
Our stay was excellent
House location private which we loved
The house was well equipped and the throws in every room made the rainy night we had extra cosy. The beds and linen were great for a perfect few nights sleep đ€
We opted to use the bbq each night which was great for us
The host was friendly and helpful what a delight, thank you Lara đ
Highly recommend!
Be sure to go visit the Waihou River walk, the wooden farmer Cafe, Over the moon cheese factory, Arapuni damn suspension bridge and walk and Okoroire hot springs all in decent proximity to this house
This house was perfect for us we hope you enjoy your time there as much as we did
Loved this special place amongst the beautiful farmland around the Waikato River.Gorgeous views.Close to Waikato trails. Very comfortable with everything we needed. Loved the beautiful bedding.
It was our second time on the property. We enjoyed our 3-day stay there.
Pros:
- The place is quiet, tidy.
- The host is friendly and easy to deal with.
- View in the afternoon and in the morning is breathtaking.
- Closer to Trails
Con:
- The only con I can think of is not having Wi-Fi available, still, if you have Spark or Vodaphone you are safe.
Highly recommend the place if you looking for an escape from all those busy schedules.
We had a lovely 4 nights here. We choose it as a cosy central base to explore the Waikato region.It did n't matter for our purposes that any shops were 15 -20 minutes away. We found it t have everything we needed for a comfortable base. One daughter wished there was some art on the walls to make it feel less new, thought it was clean, warm and well stocked and very nice views. the beds were very comfortable and nice linens.
A really well equipped and comfortable property. Quiet with great views over the surrounding countryside. This is great location for exploring the South Waikato - our family loved staying here.
The perfect place to base myself for a rural retreat from the city. Close enough to the local townships to top up supplies and then just enjoy the peace and quiet at the house. Has everything you could need for break away, very clean and tidy, and the heat pump makes the house warm and cozy on the colder evenings. Look forward to visiting again soon.
Really enjoyed staying here - itâs peaceful, the house is very well equipped and the beds are v comfy and my usual bugbear is over showers but this one was great thx! Warm and when u walk literally 5m up the slope u get a view to truly savour. Wouldnât have changed a thing - I should t have been surprised but I was about how much there is to do from this location - literally a hideaway thatâs close to so much. Sold on the area and we will be back with our bikes! Thx so much
The property was extremely clean and well kept. Kitchen had everything we needed and the beds beautifully presented and comfy.
We arrived at night so the morning view over the hills was a stunning surprise and sight.
Excellent communication with Owner, too.
Would definitely stay again.
Such a great place to stay.
Handy location if you are wanting to get away from it all
Comfortable, neat and well equipped for a relaxing weekend away.
No wifi which was a treat!
Couldn't of asked for anything more, would definitely recommend.
The amazing view and barbecue was awesome...
Was very clean and dubble beds was comfy
The single bed won't be comftable for an adult or adult child... But my daughter had no trouble sleeping in it
Excellent place for a getaway! Neat and clean properly with all the things you need to spend some quality time with the family. Communication with the property manager was easy and prompt.
Recommending to anyone who is looking for a calm and quiet time with friends and family.
The owner was super friendly and helpful. The house was clean and tidy and very well presented. All the amenities were well thought out with lots of helpful extras including info surrounding local attractions.
Only downfall for us was no wifi!
