We stayed here in the middle of a long 2.5 week vacation all around New Zealand. It was the only time we stayed in one place for three whole nights, and we were so glad this was the spot. Plenty spacious for two people with the living room and kitchen area in addition to a very nice sized bedroom. We visited in summer and it was somewhat warm, so the air conditioning was nice to have, but this place also has lots of windows that open to create good cross breeze. Everything was super clean; bathroom was nice; shower was great. Bed and pillows were super comfortable. Laundry machine and dryer were super helpful to us at this point in our trip (detergent sachets provided).There is a little outdoor space with some lounging couches outside the door which was a nice touch.
In terms of the small kitchen area, they've done a GREAT job equipping this small space with a lot of things. We were able to use the hot plate and frying pan to make eggs in the morning for example. They also have a crock pot, rice cooker, toaster oven, coffee plunger, etc. They have standard cookware and utensils and then all the basic plates, eating utensils, glassware, etc. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, sugar, jams, peanut butter, butter, salt, pepper are all in the kitchen. The host also provided us with milk and some bread which was much appreciated.
One of the things we loved most about this space was that there was actual art on the walls! For example, real paintings of beautiful new Zealand Landscapes. Lastly, something we weren't expecting, and was a lovely surprise was that halfway through our stay, was that the host came in and refreshed our towels, some of our bathroom supplies, kitchen supplies, etc. halfway through out stay. Good hospitality! Overall we loved this spot!
Oh I almost forgot: It's within walking distance of a GREAT little bakery called Pembroke Patisserie. Sausage roles are to die for. :-)
