Great little apartment in a brilliant location, and Mel was so awesome to deal with.
We booked this place for 8 weeks as our ‘home between homes’ - between house settlements. We thought we’d be out and about in the area during our stay - supporting local bars and restaurants etc, but then NZ was plunged into Level 4 lockdown 3 days after we arrived. So all our plans to be out and about - and to enjoy the gym & pool facilities at the complex - well, they went out right the window!
But Mel was just amazing - as soon as lockdown hit, she checked in to see how we were doing and to see if she could do anything to make our stay more comfortable. We were all good but we really appreciated that she was thinking of us and was so considerate.
So instead of eating out around town, we made the most of the area in a different way - by going for walks by the water most days. We couldn’t really leave the apartment for many other reasons! It was lovely to have the water on our doorstep and to enjoy the area, in spite of the restrictions of lockdown.
It wasn’t quite the stay we had planned but we enjoyed all that we could, we were
grateful to have such a comfortable roof over our heads in between homes, and we were especially grateful that Mel & Jules were such kind and considerate hosts throughout.
