It was absolutely perfect. Maddie had the house warm on a cold winters day, she also made fruit loaf which was a beautiful touch and very much appreciated, she even had milk and butter in the fridge. This was such a nice thing to do as we were in a hurry to get inside get changed to go off to an event we had booked for. I was able to have a cuppa with the yummy fruit loaf. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this place. I definitely would come back again. Thank you Maddie for a lovely stay ##### Rebecca K. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony C., Melbourne, Australia 1 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Old Charm Accomodation Comfortable old and charming home. Located in quite a hilly area requiring negotiation of narrow streets with cars parked on both sides, had to take a lot of care as at times there was only enough room for one vehicle to pass through. House was comfortable and clean with all required facilities. Internet modem was located in one of the main bedrooms on a stand beside the bed, which was a little annoying when sleeping due to continuous flashing lights, trade off was the internet speed was really good. To access the property there's a few stairs to negotiate which can make it a bit difficult for carrying heavy luggage and for anyone with mobility issues. Overall we enjoyed our stay. ##### Tony C.

Maddies home stay was very comfortable with all you could need. The washing machine and dryer was appreciated after driving around the North Island for some days. Beds were very comfortable, two bathrooms were great. Very winding steep roads to drive into town, but short drive to lots of great restaurants and tourist locations. Booking and communication were very easy, would recommend. ##### Debra C. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ---
