House was lovely and in a great, quiet location close to a very well stocked 4 Square and the bakery, plus only a short walk to the Mapua Warf.Erin was easy to deal with and everything was exactly as it said on the tin.We'd certainly stay there again.

The house was welcoming and had all we needed for 3 60 ladies having a quiet weekend away. Location was excellent and it was great being able to walk to the bakery for coffee and treats and to the Wharf area for drinks and dinner.The house was immaculate and the quiet area made it feel relaxing from the moment we walked through the front door. Great weather too, which always is a bonus.
