We arrived in the dark after catching the ferry from South Island. The roads up to Brian's place are a little windy but nothing compared to those we'd been on in South Island! Also parking in front of the garage was flat and off the road which is the important thing.
Looking out over the bay and seeing the street lit vista at night we all couldn't wait to see it by day too. With still not quite being on NZ time myself and my husband woke pre-dawn and were very lucky to see the progress of the most stunning sunrise. The colours were varied and vivid and so we even woke the rest of our family up to experience it! It was so incredible they dropped their usual morning grumpy!
Brian's place was brilliant and worked very well for our family (aged 2, 18, 28, 28 & 65).
Brian was a fantastic communicator and even from booking was very informative about our stay. This was very much appreciated, especially with how rapidly he responded to requests during our stay about the washing machine.
Thanks you Brian and I would fully recommend your place to anyone.
