If you are looking for a little bit of heaven, this is for you. Wonderfully situated spacious penthouse, totally independent from the owners accommodation Jo & Neil, who live in their property within the plot. The views from the large terrace of the beach & the surf are fabulous. The bathroom & utility is downstairs, with the spacious open plan, kitchen, lounge/bedroom, & terrace on the first floor. The sound of the waves is therapeutic, Within 2 minutes you can swim with the surfers, or take a walk along the fine clean tide swept beach. There is a hot outside shower for removing the sand. The quality of the furnishings are first class. It is about a 10 to 15 minute drive to the centre of Gisborne. Parking is available on the lawn opposite the property.
Make sure you stay for a minimum of 2 nights, which will not be enough. Jo is a very generous naturally talented host, who provides many extras that you would not expect, such as beach towels, top quality ingredients for breakfast, fresh flowers, recommendations for trips, lunch/dinner etc. The meal we had at Crawford Road Kitchen, overlooking the harbour was perfect. We are really looking forward to returning to this fabulous property the next time we are in New Zealand. Thank you for a most memorable stay, next time it will be for longer.
