Having previously lived in Waikanae for several years we often return for a weekend break. This was our first time staying at Annies' place but it won't be the last. There is off road parking next to the house and Annie was on site to greet us when we arrived. The room itself is a private wing at the back. Lovely light and airy space with high ceilings and a very comfortable King size bed. There was a cold beer and a bottle of bubbles in the fridge along with cheese and crackers to enjoy after our long drive. The ample sized shower and bathroom looked brand new. Just about verything else we needed for our stay was on hand with the exception of an iron but Annie popped in with an iron and ironing board while we were unpacking. The location was ideal with Supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and rail station a short walk away. We hardly used our car during our four day stay preferring instead to purchase a couple of Snapper cards to travel by train. Thank you both ... see you next time.
