We cannot rate this place highly enough. What a wonderful stay we had. Nigel and Paul are incredibly hospitable; even after a long, hard day at work, they made us feel utterly welcome and at home. We spent the whole evening just sitting, chatting over drinks, and relishing the stunning views. (Next time, we'll bring the wine!) Such lovely, easy-going people. And the space itself is amazing, offering unbeatable, unobstructed views across the harbour. If you're after slick, pristine modernity, this is probably not the place for you. If you love uniqueness and character, as we do, then you'll adore this place and its quirky charm and fun access via cable-car lift. The bathroom and kitchen are classic old NZ from the '60s, reminding us of bach holidays we loved as kids, and the good-sized bedroom boasts those magnificent views plus beautiful, fresh bedding and decor and a very comfortable bed. Some hyper-sensitive people may find the location a bit noisy, but it's the sort of constant, distant traffic noise you'd expect in a home in the city, which didn't bother us at all, and we sleep with earplugs anyway, so it was a blissfully peaceful sleep for us. The very generous breakfast (cereals, toast and spreads, eggs, tea, coffee, juice) was all set up for us in the morning so we could help ourselves. And although Paul kindly offered to drop us off at the Interislander ferry in the morning, we chose to stroll the easy 20 minutes down to the terminal. This is a true gem of a place, with absolutely lovely, interesting and interested hosts. We'd stay again in a heartbeat.
