Di’s place was even better than anticipated! The apartment is spacious and well-equipped - and it’s immaculately clean. It looks out onto a lovingly maintained garden and just beyond that is the beach! You can hear the soothing sound of the waves from the apartment, which we loved. The location is also an easy walk into town, which is very convenient.
A few others commented on being able to hear footsteps above- we didn’t find this to be a problem at all.
We hope to return to NZ in the future and would definitely want to stay at Di’s place again.
