Our stay at Jo’s Place was great! It is a private self-contained flat (but feels more like a cosy little cottage - with everything you ever need) nestled at the back of her property with views of her garden and the hills in the distance. It is a very convenient walking distance to the Island Bay shops, Empire Cinemas and Island Bay beach. There are also plenty of great reserves and lookouts over the harbour if you explore the Southern Walkway nearby. Jo was very easy to communicate with and let us check out later on our last day, so that we could explore the city before our flight, without the stress of our extra baggage. I would 100% recommend staying at Jo’s Place!
