What a fabulous place to stay! My friends and I visited for a weekend and we're warmly welcomed to this home by Angus. The place is stylish, comfortable, and Angus left us lots of lovely goodies to make us feel welcome. With super comfortable beds and a lovely, sheltered, outdoor space, it was hard for us to leave to go out. Angus's recommendations were also great: the farmers markets for breakfast (I recommend ALL the pastries), Bistronomy for dinner, and others things to do. While you're here check out the sea walls and the art Deco tour (we did it self guided which was great), and a trip up to Te Mata peak is a must. Stop off at Te Mata Lodge for perhaps the most spectacular view to drink coffee with. And if you have time for a gannet safari, it's well worth it. Wonderful place!
