The place was fantastic, and located within walking distance to shops/cafes/restaurants. Also a handy location for visiting nearby Napier, Hastings and numerous wineries in the region.
Liz and Fran were excellent hosts. Very understanding about my unfortunately late arrival. They were warm and welcoming, and provided a number of suggestions for things to do/places to visit in the local area. They were quick to respond to any minor issues that arose during my stay.
All in all, a highly recommended place to stay when visiting Hawke's Bay.
