A fantastic experience!
Pros:

This is a very amazing experience! The house is very large, the facilities are also great, and the courtyard is beautiful. We met the hosts, who were very friendly and enthusiastic.They even made dumplings for us to celebrate Chinese New Year. This makes us feel very warm. I highly recommend this place to everyone. 谢谢!新年快乐!

Serene property, family friendly. Would love to stay longer.
Pros:

There was a multitude of beds to choose from all different types which was great. They had a pool table, table tennis table and soccer nets for the kids. The birds were chirping all the time which was lovely. Heaps of space inside and outside for large groups. Lots of bathrooms. Comfy lounges.

Cons:

Hard to find the actual property, the signs aren't clear enough. No laundry facilities.

Pleasant
Pros:

Large area with a great outdoors space. Definitely a great place to stay if you are visiting the bay of islands, which was one of my favorite places in New Zealand. We had one room with a lot of area, and another with very little area, so that was interesting.

Cons:

It had a large kitchen area with fridges. This worked; however, because it wasn’t partitioned, we did have some of our milk taken by another family while we were staying there. It wasn’t a big deal, but it did mean we got less milk for our cereal on the morning of our departure which was slightly annoying
