"Room with a view" hardly cuts it. Watching the city lights sparkle from the windowsill was amazing, and was yet outshined by the view from the balcony, that Elisabeth and her husband invited us to share over a few beers.
Elisabeth was as welcoming and hospital as can be. She gave tips and recommendations for what to see around town, and the couple had amazing stories from their lives to share. Get the one about how they met - it's super charming!
The place also had the nicest bathroom I've encountered in all my time in New Zealand!
