The apartment is lovely, slightly bigger, lighter and brighter than in the pics. It is very close to the wharf and beach. Lovely and quiet. Bed comfortable. Try coffee at the Pompellier House at the end of the Beach- great. Dog friendly. Ferry across to Pahia and walk to Waitangi and the Treaty House along the beach. Walk over to Longbeach for a picnic , walk and a swim. Great place for at least three nights.
