This is a delightful place to stay-just 25 minutes up the coast from Wellington, whether it be a business trip or for pleasure. Doris and Bob are the perfect hosts: warm, generous, interested & interesting, and intent on providing one with a relaxing and memorable experience in their comfortable family home. The room with double bed was large and comfortable with a view to die for (just a turn of phrase)-an exquisite setting sun over smooth waters of Paekakariki Bay. And that was just the first night of a balmy few days of summer in NZ. A healthy organic breakfast with fresh fruit from the garden and a bowlful of fresh coffee set each day up perfectly.There are restaurants and cafes and a good swimming beach within a very short walk.What more could one want. I left feeling rather more than a guest passing through.Highly recommended!!!
