    Julie, was very welcoming and easy going. We had time to talk and even played Music together. The neighborhood is quite, the location central. It was an enjoyable relaxed stay. This home has flair.

    Extremely friendly hosts and had the same interests as we did so there was a lot to talk about. Julie walked us into centre of town the next morning and was telling us about it on the way.

Julie
I have recently extended my villa keeping it in character with the original part of the house. It now has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a lounge/music room and another family living area. I have off-street parking. If you are musically inclined you are welcome to have a play on my grand piano.
I live by myself & work full-time. I love music, antiques & most things celtic. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. I also operate as a private tour guide as I've lived in the area for all of my 50+ years & have a private hire passenger services licence.
I'm able to reserve ahead for you for bike hire for the Hauraki Rail Trail and also the Goldmine Tours. We are spoilt for choice with cafes & restaurants for the area & I'm walking distance to town.
