Family adventure
Just brilliant. We arrived in the middle of the night. Our instructions were clear and simple and the lovely breakfast for when we woke up was so thoughtful. The place was beautiful and perfectly located for our adventures to the beach and hobbiton and Rotarua etc. The kids loved the pool and the cat! Julian was always so polite and helpful for anything we needed. Highly recommend.
