Our stay at Robbie's place was one of the highlights of our trip in New Zealand. Nestled amongst the wineries and a short walk to the water, the studio was newly built and very clean. While the pool was tempting, we didn't quite find the time to take advantage of it.
The second day, I took out one of their road bikes with Robbie's partner Michael and had a great time riding around the vineyards. Robbie then gave us a tour of the wineries of the region prior to dropping us off in Napier to check out some Art Deco stuff.
We couldn't have imagined a better Hawkes bay visit and will recommend this place to all of our friends.
