As I sat down to write this review I thought I’d have a quick look at Christine’s listing first and it was only then I realised that I had booked this accommodation having seen only the first photo. I had thought that the artistic touches in her excellent accommodation suggested that she may have some artistic occupation beyond being an airbnb host – now I think that may be photography. Despite her talented efforts, those photos don’t quite do justice to the 180° sweeping panorama to be seen from the deck outside the room.

I had some brief enjoyable conversation with Christine but regret not asking why she called the room Paua Heart – perhaps she’ll tell me in a response to this review! Delightful place, good bed, good shower (those things that really matter), well equipped kitchen which we didn’t use, would happily stay there again, and Christine makes a mean café latte!
