Waitakaruru mountain rentals

Jenny was a lovely host who contacted us by phone before our scheduled stay to share details of the b-n-b. Did we like the A2 milk which they sourced from a nearby farm? Did we have any special dietary requirements for the continental breakfast, and so on. Just generally we had a good chat so that it was a pleasure to meet her in person finally and to be greeted with bowls of fresh fruit from the property, and Jenny's sourdough bread when he say down to breakfast in the morning. We stayed overnight in this nicely outfitted b-n-b to attend a party about 6 km distant at the Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre. We'd recommend this b-n-b and can we also recommend a visit to the shorebird centre. It has hides for viewing a wide range of shorebirds, and in particular does international work to preserve the feeding grounds along the shores of the Yalu River - part Chinese, part North Korean - for the godwits as they journey each year from New Zealand Aotearoa to Alaska to breed. I think Jenny sometimes does voluntary work down at the centre. I met Maarten the day of our departure, - a musician, and we had a good chat around that. Interesting that he works with sound, because perhaps the dominant feeling we took away from this lovely Waitakaruru property was how silent the night was. A quiet boon for suburban Aucklanders . . .

The hosts are lovely beautiful place to be very enjoyable highly recommend to all Cheers Kris and Mal.

Beautiful and comfortable apartment within easy walking distance to the central part of town. The host was super friendly and very easy to communicate with. Would stay again!

The rooms were lovely, the only thing that was missing was air conditioning, it was so hot in Thames that having air conditioning in the unit would have been wonderful.

Thank you for ease of access and well ressourced kitchen. I havn't used bookabach before and found talking with you difficult in early part of the booking process. We were worried about the sagging bathroom floor. Overall a big thank you Marion

What a beautiful holiday-house. We had 5 nights here and we enjoyed it very much. The sunsets are amazing.

Alby greated us on arrival and took us to our roo.. explained how the heating worked and pointed out the outside area to us. Great views, would have been an awsome sunset if only the Sun had been shinning

I enjoyed staying in this apartment, which has sea views & a lot of morning sun The hosts were helpful, and it's near the excellent Kaiua Fisheries (and the pub).
