John's place on the Esplanade is across the road facing the beach and steps to the water. The front of the flat has floor to ceiling large windows that let in light and have a wonderful view of the water and harbour. It is brightly painted with high vaulted ceilings that give an airy feel to the open concept common area. We loved the kitchen and were able to host our local NZ family for a roast lamb dinner. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is huge and like the rest of the place spotless clean. We do not have a car and found it easy to walk to grocery stores or get buses on the Esplanade or Jackson street. All around this was one of our best experiences and would love to return one day.
