I was absolutely certain travelling all the way to NZ from Canada for 7 days, with 3 children in tow, for a fast and furious family celebration was going to destroy me. However, the moment we laid eyes on the cheery Yellow door, we felt as though we were relaxing in a seaside cottage! We had the best time! The location is perfect! The house is absolutely adorable and Petone is such a gem!! We started each morning with lovely the baristas over at Beanie (best flat white!) and Were completely charmed by all the lovely shop owners we met strolling through the ectlectic boutiques on Jackson St! Beach, bus, train and cafes, great food and all footsteps from your door!! ! You couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you again Nicola!!!
