I usually don’t like writing reviews, but the Retro Room is my favourite single-room Airbnb I’ve ever rented.
First off, if you appreciate stylish interior design, Kim’s decor was a beauty for the eyes to drink in. Secondly, the beautiful outdoor space (side/backyard) really make it feel like its own little home. The large, crystal clear windows on two sides let in lots of soft light and overlook lush open garden space while still feeling private from the neighbours.
I really appreciate the care put into details. Kim’s “pillow library” is the luxury we never knew we needed. We enjoyed the heated towel rack, breakfast with homemade preserves, and board games. In the welcome binder, there’s even a list describing the local NZ plant varieties in the neighbourhood (which sadly I didn’t see until we were leaving).
We came to the Retro Room on a plan-as-you-go road trip, and this was the only place we liked so much we stayed an extra day :)
