The hosts were extremely welcoming and relaxed. They also welcomed our cat, for which we were extremely grateful. The listing is very accurate. The neighborhood is wonderful, about ten seconds' walk to get a lovely beach view, and nearby (walkable) St Heliers village on the seafront has a cool village/private beach vibe. The property also has a charming garden, and you can eat the fruit, vegetables, and herbs growing in the garden. Adrian and Viv also provided us with a BBQ and as summer approaches it will certainly be nice to BBQ outside. They helped us with any issues that arose, for example they provided me with a desk to work with my computer on. I am not on holiday in NZ, I am working here, but I was able to work comfortably in the unit. If you can get a booking here, seize the opportunity! My wife and I didn't want to leave! Our cat seemed very contented here as well. Thanks guys, our time at your place will be a happy memory for us.
