Phil and Joys place was beautiful. Phil greeted us on arrival which was a lovely touch. We were Straight across from the beach and a short distance from shops etc. The location is A+. The studio was clean, tidy and big enough to sit back and relax. I loved the little homely touches like the breakfast amenities as well as the yummy homemade biscuits (which my husband and I fought over lol). I wish we could had stayed longer. I highly recommend this place and will look at staying here next time we are in the Hawkes bay. Nga mihi nui Phil and Joy xx
