This place was AMAZING! Upon our return to NZ we will definitely be staying in Ian's place once again. The location is the best. With an amazing view, right on Castor Bay...you can't get any better than this. We would sit in the hot tub in the morning until it warmed up, went to the ocean to swim and kayak, and then later in the day com back and swim in the pool. The apartment had everything and more that was needed to enjoy our stay. There is a great little coffee shop and food place around the corner. Great for a sandwich or ice cream...called The Picnic Cafe. You can walk up the hill and stroll to Kennedy Park which has some amazing overlook views of the ocean. The hospitality of Ian was outstanding. Anything we needed or questions we had he was happy to help! I will definitely recommend this apartment to anyone of my friends that are coming to NZ for some much needed rest and relaxation
