Rachaels place was lovely! Generally, the house was very clean, I did find several long black hairs on the sheets in the main bedroom, they were super obvious so it's a shame the cleaner didn't see this when making the bed. Otherwise, it was a perfect stay, super close to all of Petone's amenities and an easy walk to the beach, which was perfect for the kids. For families staying, I would point out that the kids' room with the bunk beds does have a high window with no curtain or blinds etc, which was a bit tricky as it meant the kids were waking up early with the sun. All in all, a great house to stay in, would 100% recommend and we'll definitely book it in the future as we are in Petone visiting family several times a year.
