We stayed at Christine's for just over a week and had a lovely time.
Tip: the road noise is noticeable but mostly not an issue. if you're a light sleeper, the second smaller bedroom is quieter.
Convenient location to everything in downtown Gisborne. It'd be a longish walk but doable, super easy if driving. Fenced in backyard is great if you're bringing your dog. Well-equipped kitchen. Air conditioning!
