Kim was the ultimate host - entirely welcoming and available, while essentially leaving us to it. This meant her lovely little sanctuary felt private and all our own during our stay, but she was only ever a quick message away.
The space is contemporary and fresh, spotlessly clean and no detail missed. Eating local feijoas in the sun-dappled front yard was blissful. My wee son just loved it.
Location wise, you could easily spend a weekend in Ahuriri without travelling any further afield. Great eats, drinks, boutiques for me, and expansive beach and playground just mins away for the little guy. Otherwise it's a short drive to Napier, Hastings, Havelock and surrounding sights and wineries.
A total find and will definitely be back!
