Everything was awesome! The apartment is decorated with love and very, very clean. It was equipped with everything you need. Loved the bed. There is even a Netflix account and board games for guests. The breakfast was delicious with homemade muffins and more. If you want, you can pet a cow or see some sheep and chicken. And the view on the surrounding hills is breathtaking. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Such a wonderful couple that owns this place! We arrived really late and they said it was not a problem. They were so kind and helpful. The property is lovely and I think specially for a family. There are farm animals all around.

We didn't meet Michelle, but felt very well her touch on everything. She took care about the smallest details, and in her absence she made her best to give us the feeling that she is there. The accommodation was spacious, clean, cosy and very quiet. We enjoyed our stay in The Gables and recommend it to travellers who are visiting Tongariro National Park and the area.

This is *the best place to stay in Levin*. We've stayed around other places as we come to Levin regularly for family reasons. It's away from road, so it's quiet at night. The kitchenette is well stocked. The shower is powerful. The bed is comfortable. It has what a motel needs and does it all very well!

This is a very cosy, comfortable and relaxing place to stay with a supermarket just around the corner and within easy reach of the city centre. The guest bedroom and seating area is very light and warm in sunny weather and a heat-pump keeps the room warm on cooler evenings. The self serve continental breakfast is very generous in portion size making a good start to each day. It was easy to share the kitchen facilities for meal preparation and cleaning up.

Location was great staff brilliant. I can see that you are probably slowly renovating once all is completed it will be a live place to stay. Maybe a little more information about the area and things to do

Impressed by the friendly, helpful owners who made contact with me soon after I booked the studio and were keen to accommodate our needs. This is a great little set up, clean, tidy and nicely decorated, with more than you would expect. We loved having 2 arm chairs, a great shower, and a good breakfast. We appreciated having a fridge, toaster and microwave so we could cater for ourselves - over and above the breakfast provided. The location was about a 5-minute drive from the city centre and the area was very quiet at night.

A nice clean modern room with bathroom, with very comfortable beds. Just outside the city center, but still reachable by foot. The location is very quite at night. Sufficient parkingspace available. Area is also very attractive, sightseeing locations all around. The village has diners, a large growcery store and shops.
