we spend 2 nights at Patrick's cosy place (2 Adults 2 children). Patrick's place is aesthetically decorated with lots of beautiful paintings and awsome book collection. very near to beach.
usable kitchen facilities, reasonable bathroom facilities shower area is bit smaller for us though, as my son is over 6 feet. overall it's was a nice stay. not too far from Wellington and we were driving back to New plymouth so it saved us some drive time next morning.
