Great bach

Very relaxing stay at this fantastic bach.Everything as described. It would be great if the hedge was trimmed a bit lower so you could see more of the view.A washing machine would also be helpful.

Peaceful & perfectly presented

Couldn’t fault it! Perfect place to stay, relax & catch up with friends. Very close to the trail head of Mt Kariori hike- so that was a bonus. Thanks to the rental manager Julls for her assistance with everything- so smooth & helpful!!! Highly recommend 😊
