Just simply great place and host. Before arriving the communication was fast and smooth and helpful. Julia even offered to help us with loundry during our planned hike in mt. Taranaki.
The location is near perfect, since there is a park along the small river to arrive to seashore and to the city center through the coastal walkway.
The apartment was tranquil, private and spotless clean. Great stay all in all, would recommend any time!
