Overall we enjoyed our stay at the property.
Brian welcomed us once he returned home and offered information about a local restaurant which was delicious. Vida was overseas so we didn't meet her.
The property is as depicted in the photos and description. The bed is comfortable and the shower is hot and powerful, big plusses.
The view from the deck and the table is great and we really enjoyed sitting looking at the water and enjoying the sunshine after arriving from a cooler area. We took a trip on the ferry over to Russell and highly recommend this!
If you are particularly sensitive to noise please note that the road into town runs directly below the property so there is some traffic noise, this was not a problem for us as it was low season. Additionally there are large dogs that reside on the neighbouring property and initially they will bark at you and settle once they realise you are staying. The property would benefit from having an information book available about the local area, the property itself and access to the laundry, other reviews indicate a parking permit but we didn't know about this.
We would definitely consider staying here again.
