Time stops at Tayford

The location was perfect so was the accommodation. No clocks in the house! But the listing was incorrect. I put a filter in for a hot tub the main reason for a weekend away! Only to find there was no HOT TUB. If there had been it would have been a perfect weekend. Will think twice before using this web site again.

There are lots of little touches which make it homely. The native pig is so friendly and cute. The gardens are beautiful and full of native birds. Great location, Waipu has some great restaurants/cafe plus a small supermarket. Thank you to the host Nigel he went above and beyond to help me look after my dad. His kindness was beyond any expectations.
