Perfect location over looking the sea. In close walking distance to Museum (excellent videos on the earthquake experience plus some other really interesting displays) , bike shop ( helpful friendly service - note that most wineries are closed on a Monday. We went to Missionary which is set in a beautiful old building and grounds. Restaurant there looks good too. Do book) , bars and restaurants. The accommodation was spotless, beds were large and comfortable with crisp fresh linen. Bathroom and dining area are tight for space but efficiently set up. Wonderful views from the sitting room
