The apartment is designer perfect with an amazing view. Kathryn has the eye of an artist and a very warm personality to go with it. There were many Silvereyes in the fig tree near my bedroom that were fun to watch. We visited the National Aquarium and saw several Blue Penguins and luckily two Kiwis, the MTG Hawkes Bay Museum and saw exhibits of the Maori Culture and the 1931 earthquake, and the Art Deco Centre. Bought some possum merino clothing, had doughnuts served with Hennessy Cognac Custard at Mister D’s Bistro and a great fish dinner at the Hungry Monger. Kathryn provides a continental breakfast for her guests. Unfortunately we could only stay one night before heading to Wellington. But what a wonderful experience.
