A perfect location. Vanessa and later her Mum were delightful to meet though in no way intruded. That's why 'we' do this over Hotels and Motels, right? We get to meet real people. Easy walk-to access to shops and great restaurants yet peaceful and private. Spotlessly clean with well equipped kitchenette. Great little double induction plate - so clever. No microwave which I personally find useful for short stays like this. That said, EAT OUT! Excellent meals enjoyed at the Village Pub and Market Kitchen. Great bed and mattress. The little blow heater did the job on the cool nights but I would have been happier with a better quality appliance. Such a gorgeous little sunny aspect and deck in the morning. If you're a Netflix person you're sorted, my Mum missed no local TV signal for news however that was easily overcome for us both with an episode (or two) of The Crown. LOL. Don't miss a visit to Matakana Sculptureum, it's worth every cent to see the creativity of folk. And the glass art, wait and see !!. They offered a wheel chair for my Mum who uses a walking stick. Perfect because it's extensive. Great restaurant too for coffee and cake or a feast. Also, you have got to do the Matakana Sculpture Gardens people. Honestly fantastic though I walked the 1.5km on my own since my Mum would not have coped with her walking stick and it's not wheel chair friendly. The fully glass restaurant with reading material and coffee suited her better. Hooray for the cross Tasman bubble!!!!
