Great location, lovely host. We had a problem with water - it appears there was a fix needed with the tank so seems like a one-off. We had breakfast included with our meal but it was too basic and could be better.

We like the views from our room. I like the accommodation having shower robe and they have it. Excellent! Customer service was excellent. We like healthy breakfast and the dining overlooking the sea. Convenience of walking to town was great. Parking not so easy as it was elevated but not an issue.

Highly recommend this stay. The views were pretty and close proximity to town and waterfront (5mins easy walk) and 10min walk to Flagpole hill. The service was friendly and efficiently - nothing was too much trouble. True Kiwi hospitality. We will stay again.
