There is no wonder this is in the top 10 AirBnB's sites in NZ! It's location is to die for, the place is historically old, but tastefully modernised, in an eclectic, children friendly way. But even us older types really, really enjoyed ourselves. And yes - we did walk the hill, where we met the most friendly Kiwi, Dave Kernohan, who then gave us a guided one and a half hour tour of the best hidden bits of the town. Got some great photos (thanks Dave). We had a ball at this place, and can't recommend it highly enough. Elenor is a great host, and replied to questions instantaneously. Loved it, loved it, loved it!
