We were familiar with the area and knew how handy it was to Five Mile where there’s many shops and restaurants and then Arrowtown wasn’t far in the opposite direction as well. The home was very clean and comfortable and it was easy to keep in touch with the owner if needed. All in all , it was a very enjoyable stay.
