Celina is a great and helpful host. We stayed in the house during the cyclone and Celina supported us with all necessary information and advice.
The house is in a quiet residential area, short drive to Sunnynook Countdown. Great views from the deck, fully equipped kitchen, internet worked well during our stay. Nice cosy spaces, comfortable bed, water pressure in the shower is relatively weak though. Washing machine is in the garage and does not have hot water (which is not new to NZ), but there is also a dryer. Convenient parking space in front of the house. The house suits for long term stays.
