The house exceeded all our expectations. The main bedroom was spacious with its own ensuite, while the queen rooms offered plenty of space to relax and enjoy a restful night’s sleep. The bunk room was perfect for our teenage boys, giving them enough room to spread out and maintain their holiday chaos.The 2.5 bathrooms were very handy, and we appreciated the comforts of home with the washing machine, bbq, outdoor lounges and fully equipped kitchen etc. The views were simply stunning, set among the peaceful hills of the Nikao area.Our hosts were wonderful, attentive to our needs, and kindly accommodated our requests. We were especially grateful to be allowed an extra day before heading off for our late 11pm departure.We highly recommend the “Old Navy Home” for families – a definite 10/10! We’ll be back for sure. ![The view 😍 ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ea424b21-9d04-493e-ae6c-25989bb2600f-1758707559023.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![A place to sit and enjoy the view 😎 ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e87cfbd3-091e-4eeb-a509-51b0bcd31efd-1758707558398.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The view 😍 ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/afff577c-ac2b-410b-a449-41306901421a-1758707559279.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![And the view 😍 ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba6e7d6c-8c53-498c-a5c3-545203a749fd-1758707558755.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Julie R.
