Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bobbie N. 9 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious style This house was great for the relaxing Christmas holiday we planned. Three generations had plenty of space to relax, and two bathrooms was great. It was close to shops, beach and walking routes. Near enough to access city shops when they were open and Pukekura Park for the evening light display. The modern kitchen and butler's pantry made it very easy for two or three people to be preparing Christmas meals together and and internal access to the HUGE garage meant security for two cars. Outside area was private and comfortable. I would recommend this house.The decor was delightful although my teenage grandson was rather taken aback by the nude in the bedroom. Loved the Nania lamp in the lounge. ##### Bobbie N.
