Experience the serenity of a spotless private room in a contemporary 3-bedroom home, thoughtfully appointed with all modern conveniences. Located a brief 3-minute drive or a pleasant 10-minute stroll from the University of Waikato, and a mere 10-minute drive to the City Centre. Relish the ease of having New World Hillcrest, a Mobil fuel station, Burger King, Dominoes, and a variety of inviting dining options within a stone's throw. Public transport is a breeze with a bus stop directly outside, and for those keen to explore further, the Auckland Taupo highway is accessible in just 2 minutes.
