Only issue was that 4th bedroom in the separate shed/bach was quite a distance from the main house and hence no internet there. Teenage girls were very keen to stay there but no internet there so no go. No one used it cos of the no internet. ##### Stephen Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2021 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [LyLo Auckland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Lylo-Auckland-Hostel.h82477714.Hotel-Information) > - [Eden Park Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Asure-At-Eden-Park.h4517008.Hotel-Information) > - [Sudima Auckland City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Sudima-Hotel.h48484681.Hotel-Information) > - [Horizon by SkyCity ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Horizon-By-SkyCity.h96762015.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Chagford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chagford-Hotels.d7160.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [On the Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-On-The-Beach.h32505841.Hotel-Information) > - [The Convent Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-The-Convent-Hotel.h57330689.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Plymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymouth-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d2817-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Japan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Japan.d89.Hotel-Destinations) > - [Ponsonby Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Ponsonby-Manor-Guest-House.h9624397.Hotel-Information) > - [Southampton Ocean Village Apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southampton-Hotels-Southampton-Ocean-Village-Apartment.h36090851.Hotel-Information) > - [Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Cordis.h8072.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Hotel-Grand-Chancellor-Auckland-City.h106705669.Hotel-Information) > - [Lodges Fairford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fairford-Lodges.d6023722-aaLodges.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [SkyCity Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-SkyCity-Hotel.h40995.Hotel-Information) > - [4 Star Hotels in Gran Canaria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Gran-Canaria-Hotels.s40-0-d6047134.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [MS Royal La Terrasse Luxor-Aswan 7 Night Cruise Thur-Thur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luxor-Hotels-MS-Royal-La-Terrasse-Luxor-Aswan-7-Night-Cruise-Thur-Thur.h37910604.Hotel-Information) > - [5 Star Hotels in Ixia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Ixia-Hotels.s50-0-d6052012.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels near Grand Canyon Visitor Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grand-Canyon-Visitor-Center-Hotels.0-l553248621562820554-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > - [Flights from baltimore washington intl thurgood marshall airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/bwi/flights-from-baltimore-washington-intl-thurgood-marshall-airport) > - [Flights from sultan abdul aziz shah airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/szb/flights-from-sultan-abdul-aziz-shah-airport) > - [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Catania (CTA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/cta/birmingham-to-catania) ### Cars ### Packages > - [Cape Town Stadium](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Stadium-Green-Point.d6130663.Attraction) ---
