Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: What a gorgeous view! We used the family suite for the two of us - spacious room, large and comfortable bed, modern rain shower, lovely details... We had breakfast (all food provided by Mel) outside in the BBQ area overlooking Te Kuiti. A lushious garden. And if you love animals (dog, cats, ducks, sheep, cows, horses) you'll be in heaven. Mel is a wonderful host. It was a perfect stay!
Negative: NOTHING to complain about.
