What a fantastic place! We flew in from the US the day before and were looking for a comfortable place to stay before we started our camping adventure in New Zealand. The room was very private, with a separate entrance and bathroom. Natalie was a gracious host providing us with wonderful recommendations, not only for St Heliers Bay, but for all of our traveling through the North and South Islands. The bed was so luxurious, and everything was very clean. The neighborhood was quiet and provided us with exactly what we were looking for. We were able to take a short walk to the beach, as well as shops and restaurants.
