City Garden Hideaway

BronaghRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

lovely location, nice and quite part of busy whangarei. Will 100% book this home again. I felt like I was staying at a relatives house, it was so lovely. the double bed was comfy but a little small for my partner and I so if you're on the taller or bigger side, you may not have the BEST sleep. otherwise, 5/5, 10/10 :)

if its peace you're looking for then Talas' place is it...Pukeko calls, rustling of the trees, purring of two georgus cats and feeding chickens is your thing? then I highly recommend Talas' place. Child friendly, spacious, clean and great outdoor flow...covered deck is the perfect unwind for a quiet night in...
