We were privileged to be Jo and Ben’s first guests in the King’s Room.
The room is large, bright and airy with its own bathroom and very comfortable king bed. The lounge is spacious, light filled,and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our own breakfast but in addition to the cereal, coffee and juice we found laid out for us overlooking the garden when we got up, Jo brought us a generous fruit bowl, breads and a tray of spreads.
She greeted us when we arrived, helped us up the stairs with our bags, made a dinner reservation for us and shared her love of Whakatane with us. She and Ben made us so very at home.
Although they’ve just begun to Airbnb, we can’t recommend them highly enough. They are wonderful hosts and Clifton Manor is an outstanding stay in our experience.
