One of the best properties you’ll find in New Zealand—just a short drive from Auckland. The owners are super friendly and helpful, and the place (plus the area around it) is super clean and beautiful. Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed staying at Yana and J’s home. It was beautiful from the art on the inside to the beautiful land on the outside. We really enjoyed our farm animal tour and the recommendation for finer wines. The hosts were lovely, friendly people. We highly recommend this relaxing retreat!

Heaven on Earth

This was exactly what we hoped. Breathtaking views that made us wish we could stay longer. We had a short visit on our way to Australia, this was perfectly located for day trips to Rotorua / Te Puia and Hobitton along with a wine day at Waiheke. We would make the day long flights again to stay here!

Stunning hideaway

The view from the deck of this property is as advertised - gorgeous. Creates instant calm. Nestled in the bush this property was open plan, cosy and had different spaces indoors and outdoors for the mood or occasion. Amenities were spot on. Our group wanted for nothing. Comms with the hosts was friendly, easy and attended too quickly. Would recommend and stay again.

Highlights: spectacular view, spacious living areas, quiet/private area, helpful and communicative hosts. Amenities/supplies/general living conditions were very satisfactory.House does get a little warm without opening doors/windows. Dishes had some residue upon arrival. Driveway/hill up to property was somewhat scary, but manageable, but 4 wheel drive seems almost a requirement.

Beautiful home in a stunning location. So many amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My only issue was that the bedding didn’t seem clean. It had a smell to it that made me feel as if it hadn’t been washed in awhile. There were also a lot of cobwebs around and quite dusty in places. We gave the bbq a good clean before using it as that wasn’t looking very good either. The pool was not useable as there were bugs and grass in it. Perhaps a cover for that will be a good option. The place otherwise was pure paradise and I really appreciated Yana being able to courier the clothes left behind. Yana’s communication was also fantastic. We would love to visit again one day.

Our linen is stripped from all beds after guests check out and is washed and dried, ALWAYS (in fact I do it at the Laundramat). We are a rural property with a gravel driveway so cobwebs and dust arrive as quick as they are cleared. We don’t have a cover for the pool, we do have motor filter and we hand clean with the pool sieve catcher, when the wind picks up then leaves get in to the pool. The pool sieve catcher is beside the pool. We also ALWAYS clean the BBQ after each guest leaves. (We are a very busy BNB destination, so there is regular cleaning by our Cleaner and then by us the owners).

I'm not sure you'll find a place that has this mixture of privacy, space, facilities, views and is only a five minute drive from a town that's also dog friendly just about anywhere.
