Great long weekend getaway for 3 couples from all parts of NZ to spend time together, relax, laugh, and plan a big trip next year. Great house, clean, comfortable and extremely well appointed. Wish we had longer to enjoy. Recommend this property. A bit out of town, but quiet neighborhood and thoroughly enjoyed our time.
