Penn's Retreat is well located in Merivale - close to the mall and supermarket but very quiet being well-back from the road. It is in easy reach of the central city.
We were very comfortable. There is everything you need for a short or long stay. The kitchen is well equipped.
We appreciated being left a bottle of wine and some home-baked biscuits. Also there was muesli and milk for breakfast and a good selection of teas and coffee.
