It's very hard to put into words how fabulous my stay with Perrine was. Firstly, I would like to say that Perrine was extremely helpful. Upon my arrival, she showed me where I would be staying and kindly drew me a map so that I could get my bearings, having never visited Devonport before.
The actual location was great, in a quiet little road, right by Cheltenham Beach and in walking distance to shops and places of interest.
The annexe is self contained and the decor is stunning. Perrine obviously has a good eye for detail (her own home is beautiful) and it was the accessories and the little touches that made it such a calming place to stay. Each morning there was a lovely breakfast of muesli and yogurt, as well as fresh fruit. There is a little courtyard, with a table and chairs, which provides you with a pleasant place to eat. Another nice touch being that each day Perrine put fresh flowers on the table.
Upon my departure, Brian kindly gave me a lift to the wharf to catch a ferry, which was much appreciated.
I desperately wanted to return to Perrine's during my time in New Zealand, but alas she was fully booked. However, the next time I visit, I will most definitely be booking to stay again. This has got to be the best Airbnb I've stayed in and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Devonport.
