Enjoy Fitzroy - Hospital Haven
One of my best stays such a lovely place to stay , nice and cosy and very clean hughly recommended with great communication also =)

The Haven - City Retreat
Lisa’s place was absolutely wonderful. All the amenities were thoughtfully provided, and everything was fuss-free and easy to use. The kitchen was a real lifesaver, and the private little haven was the perfect spot for my partner to rest and recover after surgery. Being just a stone’s throw from the hospital was a huge plus. Lisa was incredibly responsive and always available whenever we needed help. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you so much for hosting us!

Brand New 2-Bedroom Retreat in Quiet Cul-de-Sac

Urban Meadow a Semi-Rural-Central Location
This is a beautiful place to stay. Peaceful, warm and clean. Comfortable bed. Excellent amenities. The host is lovely. This was a lovely and relaxing holiday. Far enough from the busy city, but close enough to drive to various things. We enjoyed the zoo. It was wonderful to find a place suitable for our baby and we appreciate a portacot and high chair being available to use. Highly recommend this accommodation for a peaceful stay with beautiful surroundings. Thank you so much.

Westlands Guest House
Such a lovely place. Surroundings stunning. Close to great locations. We would definitely come back and stay.

Luxury Lakehouse at Takapoto Estate
Wow! Absolutely 5 stars in every regard. From the absolutely beautiful drive in, to the private, serene surrounds this guesthouse is perched on, as well as having use of bikes/ kayaks, this was one of the best stays we’ve every experienced. Everything felt luxe, indulgent, well thought-out, and to top it off, the fridge was stocked with fresh produce and meats made from their own farm which was enough food for us for our entire stay - breakfast, lunch and dinner. We couldn’t recommend it enough, and we hope to be back here one day and stay for even longer! Thanks so much for having us Takapoto Estate 😊

City, Hospital and Style! - car park included
