This house is a short walk from the cute and convenient Hataitai Village with good coffee shops, a launderette, great beer bar (Waitoa Social Bar) and a grocery for the basics. The kitchen is great for cooking, and the view to the bay is relaxing. Janet and Stephanie made the place cozy with the house decor, and set us up with a bowl of fruit and really nice flowers. This place is convenient for buses to town, or longer walks to the city center or to other neighborhoods / the hills and coast.
