I cannot recommend Kowhai Studio highly enough! I had the most wonderful overnight stay here, and I wish I had booked for longer. Kirstin (and her family) are incredible hosts. Her warm personality makes communication very easy, and her willingness to go the extra mile is second to none. The room and other facilities were modern and clean, yet homely. The bed was very comfortable and I had the best night's sleep in quite some time. Being across the road from the Botanical Gardens as well as being so close to town, was such a treat. Having the use of the e-bike was amazing. I had never been on an e-bike before and was nervous at first, but riding through the gardens and along the lake-front in the early morning sun ended up being the highlight of my stay. If you are looking for the perfect home away from home, this is it!
