Gabriele is a very friendly and helpful host. She is not intrusive at all and just lets you get on. The apartment is big enough for up to 6 people. It is in a quiet area of Paton’s Rock across the road from a lovely beach - a short drive to Takaka and Collingwood. Gabriele will offer you lots of helpful recommendations for local places to visit if you need them plus there is a folder full of helpful suggestions on the dining table.
