Family retreat

A great place to spend a relaxing 5 days with adult children after busy holiday. It is spacious and private with nice deck/table with umbrella, grill and 2 bathrooms. Expresso machine and use of washing machine a bonus. A few things would have made it more comfortable for us like fans and curtains in every bedroom and a microwave. It was hot and hard to find enough shade or sleep well. Kitchen had most everything just not enough as we ate all meals here every day. Easy drive, but had to go to motueka if you needed anything. The owner was clear that you Must not mind animals if you stay here. Very clear instructions and nice welcome package. Beautiful country side to drive or bike.
