We visited during New Zealand's rapidly-changing response to COVID-19. Julie and Ian were very communicative during the process, letting us know what the latest information was.
Otherwise, the space was also very nice, with use of a kitchenette, cooking and eating utensils, and some basics for breakfast (ie cereal, milk, and fruit cups). It's also right by the grocery store and a nice, quiet beach area.
Hopefully we can visit during more normal times!
