We arrived in a downpour to an apartment that was exactly as described. Louise offered to drive us to the market for provisions and we were accompanied by the delightful Brynn and enthusiastic Benny. Louise and Grants son Brynn is a very articulate almost 9 year old and Benny is their mixed breed dog, both of whom we enjoyed very much.
The apartment has great views and a wonderful bed. It is also spotless. The kitchen is fully equipped and once the sun came out, we enjoyed the balcony with water and garden views. Although the weather and tides prevented us from using the kayaks, the electric bikes were a great way to see the island. Those hills were daunting but we saw everything we wanted to see and enjoyed dining at Louise's recommendations.
A very quiet location at the end of the street, we were steps from the beach and a nice walk to a marvelous view. I would stay here again in a heartbeat if it weren't for the endless travel time it takes us to get there.
Upon hearing that we wanted to take a typical NZ book back four grandson, Brynn and his mom checked the shelves and sent us home with 2 Brynn has outgrown. Thank you!
