We had a wonderful stay in Pounamu. the apartment is functional, clean and well- designed with plenty of storage. The view is incredible and although facing the main road, the traffic noise isn't a nuisance. The location is prime, being a short 10/15mn walk to town so no need to drive to enjoy downtown's activities. The gas fire is a delight after a long and cold day out. We only heard the studio guest when they were in the bathroom, sharing a wall with our room (hair dryer and drawers being pulled). Very calm and serene place. The Pounamu reception was more than happy to restock our kitchen/bathroom items. We only wish we could have used the hot tub but I don't believe it's included for airbnb guests. There is a bbq for warmer days, not sure if airbnb guests would have access as well.
