Cath is a very good host, who responded quickly to our queries prior to and during our stay. She met us on arrival and was able to provide pointers on attractions in this region. The apartment — a spacious elevated studio that sleeps 3 — sits atop the host’s home, which is 10-minutes’ walk from the center of the town. It provides lovely views of the small Lake Killarney which edges the rear of the property. The Airbnb photos of the Herons Nest are accurate and the apartment is not only cozy in the cold weather [experienced in our final three days here] but with opening windows on all sides would able to take advantage of breezes in the summer. It provided an excellent base for touring the many natural attractions of the Tasman region as well as the arts – artists, potters, sculptors that seem to abound in this area. The apartment is equipped for self-catering and offers an electric oven and hobs, electric jug and toaster. The queen–size bed is comfortable and the shower pressure is satisfactory. Extras in the apartment on our arrival helping make our stay here special were: fresh flowers, croissants, chocolates, lemons and limes, milk, butter, spreads and kitchen essentials. The apartment was spotlessly clean and the nesting blue herons directly outside our window were an unexpected attraction. One could waste of a lot of time watching them. We thoroughly enjoyed our week’s stay in this the quiet lake-edge apartment. Thank you, Cath for making our stay in the Tasman region so enjoyable.
