This is a top of the line holiday stay. There were ten in our group. Grandparents, uncle and aunt (us), nieces and partners, a 14 year old and 11 year old grandsons. (Eleven if you count our Jack Russell terrier - the "coussie dog"). We booked to have Christmas here. The house is immaculately presented. You almost feel like a part of the family that lived here - there are family treasures, beautiful artwork on the walls and an amazing collection of cow themed art and items. The beds were comfortable and the linen was quality. The kitchen is well equipped, we had no shortage of serving dishes for the variety of food we cooked, especially Christmas brunch and dinner. There is plenty of room for everyone to have there own space. Extra fridge space was also a bonus. The TVs are fantastic - my husband loved the upstairs screen!! The location is quite and peaceful. The view of the rages and Mt Te Aroha is ever changing. The owners went the extra mile and put up a Christmas tree and other beautiful decorations, even a Christmas themed tablecloth. This luxury home was a great fit for our family and also good value. We made easy trips to Te Aroha, Morrinsville, Masterton, Thames and Paeroa. Thank you for a lovely stay.
