    Out of all the VRBO's we stayed in during our trip to New Zealand this place was our favorite. Close to town, close to beaches and close to hikes. The area is quiet and the sunsets are amazing.

    We stayed as a family of 4 for a week and loved our holiday! Our sons loved the tennis courts a few minutes walk away and the accommodation had everything we needed. The host, Lil, was excellent and easy to deal with living above the apartment as she does. Beautiful part of NZ and was easy to explore local area from there. Compact living and no real outdoor space but had had everything we needed and out all day exploring anyway!
