The Abbey is well located in a quiet neighborhood. It has comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen. It's only a short walk down to the beautiful bay. We visited both the Leigh Marine Centre at the Goat Island Reserve and the Tawharanui Open Sanctuary and wished we had more time for both! Andrew responded very quickly to an e-mail about missing light bulbs and a kettle problem and fixed both problems pronto. When we discovered the evening after we left that my husband had left the only cord he had for his computer, he went above and beyond and mailed it to us at our new location. We would definitely stay there again, and would highly recommend it to anyone!
