We're Chris and Jackie, and after years of running our busy family business in Auckland, we traded the hustle and bustle for the peaceful charm of the Waikato countryside. Along with our friendly border collie, Sumo, we’ve made our home here in beautiful Tamahere—and we love sharing it with others! Jackie continues to run her caregiving business, bringing her natural warmth and compassion into everything she does. Together, we truly enjoy welcoming guests and helping them feel at home. Whether you're here to relax, explore, or just take a break, we’re here to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
