The room with the balcony was sooo pretty- same goes for the bathroom and the entire villa. The very nice owner topped it off with the best breakfast we have had in NZ. Freshly prepared with homemade produce. Highly recommendable!

A real treat. Warm hosts that actively reached out, keen to assist. A dream home with everything you need and more. Comfy rooms, master bedroom comes with ensuite toilet. Large living room with smart TV, a solid blue tooth speaker, and even a ping pong table facilitated post dinner activities. Large and well equipped kitchen for the travelling MasterChef wannabe. And a superb washer-dryer combo helped with my end trip laundry situation. Worth every penny. City centre location made it a great place to explore neighbouring towns/vineyards.

    Staff were super friendly and offered me a lot of help, laundry was the cheapest so far I’ve done in New Zealand. The beds, bathroom, kitchen are very clean. Location is good, was in a quiet neighborhood and still close to the city center.
