We are seasoned airbnb travelers and don't usually look at hotels or bnb's, but this was our honeymoon and we wanted to go a little lux this time then we saw Paul's listing on airbnb and WOW!! it exceeded expectations. literally walking distance from the main strip of shops, we had the private suite and it was incredible even during winter. a private deck/courtyard, fireplace, and a secluded jacouzi on top of a well appointed bathroom (loved the shower- was a highlight), kitchen and bed - felt like I was in a luxury apartment!
you don't need a car to get around, everything, including walks/hikes are walking distance. I would highly recommend prebooking as many of your restaurant outings as much as possible (esp with the covid-related staff shortages both NZ and Aus are experiencing), but all in all a perfect stay! 5 stars!
also Paul is an incredible host, incredibly accommodating from random requests to preparing the best breakfast for us! Loved it, we'll be back for sure!
