I had such a fantastic experience with Denise and Michael that I extended the stay.
The accommodation is the bottom floor of their beautiful modern home, but it is very private. Walls are so thick that I never heard anyone upstairs. The space is large, tastefully decorated, and has top end appliances and fixtures.
You have a huge view of the bay from the top of Bluff Hill. It was relaxing to soak in the well maintained hot tub and watch the stunning sunsets.
Denise and Michael gave me complete privacy, but I enjoyed speaking with them so much that we hung out quite a bit. Trust their suggestions. The Craggy Range Vineyards and Te Mata peak walks made for a gorgeous and delicious day. The Sunday farmers' market in Hastings is fun and delicious too.
