We throughly enjoyed staying at Barry and Jill’s place, even though it was only for one night. It is spacious and modern. Very well presented and spotlessly clean. It is close to the beach and about half hour walk to the centre of town from Westshore where the apartment is located. Breakfast was provided with an assortment of cereals, breads, fruit and tea or coffee which meet our needs. Only briefly meet the hosts with a friendly welcoming chat, however, the communication prior to arriving was first rate. If we are fortunate enough to be in the Hawkes Bay region again, we wouldn’t have any seconds thoughts about staying there again.
