Absolutely perfect

The apartment was perfect for our family of 3 for 5 nights over Xmas. We couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay- it felt like a real treat, as we hoped. It was exactly as listed, beautifully furnished and exceptionally clean. Thoughtful touches such as Xmas decorations, Xmas pudding and other festive foods left for us. Wonderful view over the marina. Great to be able to use shared pool and hot tub. Ideal location for ferry to ferry landing, play park, places to eat and drink and beaches. Lovely town. Owners communication was friendly, prompt and helpful. It surpassed our expectations. Recommend Flaxmill Bay beach, 10 Min walk off ferry and also Go-Kiei beach bus to Hive restaurant or mercury bay winery. Highly recommend.
