Michael and Denise where gracious hosts, a very classy couple. They did everything possible to make us feel welcome. We enjoyed our conversations and especially enjoyed talking about Kiwi life as we come from the US.
The apartment was superb with high-quality materials and beautifully decorated. The shower, like no other was stupendous. The view of Hawke's Bay was terrific and we enjoyed our private evening soak in the spa. Parking was easy and only a couple meters to transfer luggage.
The walk to town was less than a Kilometer and the downtown deco art was great.The walk up hill was a bit tough but doable even for us 60's couple. The wineries and beaches were a short drive away. Both well worth it. Do not miss Michael and Denise! This is a value at any price!
