Julie's place was an amazing find! It was just as advertised and more. The villa is very large and roomy, with great outdoor spaces as well. We loved eating at the outdoor table under the sun shade and our family loved the pool! The kids couldn't wait to get in. The beds were very comfortable and the fridge had milk waiting for the morning. We really enjoyed visiting with Julie and her daughter and Julie gave us great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. We also enjoyed their two adorable dogs! We'd definitely stay again if visiting Hawke's Bay in the future!
