Easy to get to from airport or city centre using the frequent Purple bus that passes the door. Access to beach or Sumner shopping area just 5 minutes on foot. Use of garden for breakfast a nice touch - to enjoy your delicious home-made granola (thanks Tamsin). Beach towels also supplied and space to dry stuff outside. Good wifi and sky tv was a bonus (we watched olympics and cricket). Very comfy big bed with good quality linen. Nice little extras like beer in the fridge, chocolate and popcorn! We would definitely use this accommodation again.
