If you want some time to de-stress and unwind with family or friends, this is a perfect place for it. The view is beautiful morning and night, and the star-gazing under the dark Maraekakaho skies is a-mazing. Alison is an excellent host, very responsive and helpful. Her place is very well laid out, modern and so clean. If you want a bit more than just being laid back, the delights of Hawkes Bay are close by - We'd love to come back.
