Exactly what I needed after a cancelled flight: fast, warm, and right by the airport.

I had my flight cancelled late at night and needed somewhere to stay urgently. The property had my room ready within 30 minutes, with the heating already on and everything set up for my arrival. It was such a relief after a stressful evening. The location is also incredibly convenient for the airport, which made catching my early rebooked flight the next morning so much easier. Really appreciated the care and efficiency.

Highly recommend this as place to launch your NZ holiday from.

Wish we could have stayed longer to chat with the owners - they were so relatable and friendly but our travel Plans cut the visit short. Fantastic facilities and beautiful garden- superb hospitality and offered to drive us to our Britz van down the road. Such good vibes from Greg and Sue. Very close to the airport and even closer to the motorhome depots- highly recommend this as a place to stay. We didn’t get in until 1am due to flight delays and this was not an issue- they left the light on to our Studio and arranged everything so we could get straight out of our taxi and into our room with minimal Fuss. Great start to our trip.

Perfect

Sue's hospitality was fantastic. We arrived in the afternoon to the huge suite, with many treats already waiting for us in the kitchen. Sue even offered us a ride to the RV rental station, and held our bags while we were there. Highly recommended!

Clean and quiet, great for an overnight stay, especially if you want to do laundry and re-pack your luggage!

Quiet rural setting down a country lane - handy for the airport and public transport. Lots of generous and thoughtful touches, especially all the tea varieties and snacks, which meant I could stay put all afternoon and get on with my work without having to go out and look for something to eat.

If you have small children, or even if you don’t.. look no further, this is absolutely the best place to stay!

This was like staying with lovely friends. There was so much to do for the children (swimming pool with lots of floaty toys, spa, outdoor playground and indoor playroom) and we were so well looked after. Not only did we have so many snacks provided, but our wee girls were also given ice cream during the afternoon, and hot chips to go with our picnic tea. The accommodation was so beautiful and clean, with everything we needed and more. This is one of the best places we have ever stayed, with the kindest of hosts.. thank you so much! xx

Well situated and nice property that offers all you need for a great stay

Sue, Greg and their property were fabulous. From a warm welcome, the provision of welcome treats and breakfast facilities, as well as the access to and use of a washer & dryer it was all positive. An added bonus to have a sporting connection to be able to chat about too

Good value and perfectly situated for the airport

Great welcome from our hosts, and really convenient for the airport. We were there for just one night and didn't use the swimming pool or hot tub. But it was still good value because there was enough food for an evening snack as well as continental breakfast. And Greg gave us a lift back from the airport after we dropped off our hire car, as well as take us next morning to the airport with all our luggage, saving us taxi fares. The second bed was a useful surface for reorganising the contents of our big suitcases.
