We had a lovely few days in Kilbirnie. The apartment was light and airy and clean and comfortable. It’s near the airport (you can hear the planes!) and we didn’t have a car with us so we made good use of the local number 2 bus service to get us about and in and out of Wellington. Kilbirnie is a suburb with all the amenities - shops, supermarkets etc. Our hosts were so helpful and went out of their way to make us feel at home.
