So many good things to say about Murray's place that it's hard to condense into a quick review. Murray and Erma are super kind friendly hosts always available with smiles on their faces if you need them but as the place has it's own entrance and lovely garden outlook it's totally private too. This made check in really easy. The garden is gorgeous and colourful (if you're really lucky there might be a tomato or two available in the garden!). The apartment was sparkling clean and very spacious. The location is not only great for the car ferry to Russell but also for Waitangi Treaty Grounds and Paihia. There were all the lovely nice extra touches that other people have mentioned - lots of breakfast things, cereals, bread, butter, milk, fruit bowl, plus the yummy home made jams and marmalade. There were plenty of mini toiletries, towels etc. The fact it was amazing value and had a driveway parking space and a BBQ to use if you're not off out having fun were just the icing on the proverbial perfect cake. Thanks Murray and Erma x
