Pleasant perfection
My husband and I are from the states and after traveling so far, it was great to call this little spot "Home". Karl & Maryanne (our hosts) were very kind and friendly. They made sure we knew all about the property and even offered ideas on things to do in the local area. Their little space was perfect for our busy travel itinerary in the bay of plenty. Comfortable, and location was central to all our adventures. We are already planning our return trip. Looking forward to staying here again!

Nice stay 😊
Nice stay, lovely hosts a bit closer to the owners property then expected, but I was out most of the time anyway. About 10mins out of city centre which was good. Comfortable bed but don’t leave anything sweet out, I had ants in my juice. Overall lovely stay and thank you for the treats.

A lovely place to stay on the outskirts, just a short drive to city centre. Maryann and Karl were great attentive hosts and we would not hesitate to recommend staying at their place.

Very cosy and warm. Our favourite element of the accomodation was the walkway to the lake. I went there everyday for my morning coffee. The bed is so comfy! We loved staying here Maryanne and Karl were fantastic hosts!
