Sybills was a lovely relaxing place to stay. Everything we wanted was close at hand, beach at the end of the street, shops and restaurants 1 street over. So convenient and evening drinks on the deck was a delight.
Had a great stay. Had all the kitchen hardware (and more) that we needed. House was very clean and it was a great place to hang out when the weather outside wasn’t the greatest.
This house was perfect for our group, which included two families with children. We rented both levels so everyone had plenty of space and privacy, the house was cozy with thoughtful amenities, plenty of towels, and a great distance from the town center and regional attractions.
Easy access and instructions, clean, cosy, lots of spare blankets , great heat pump, amazing fruit trees, fresh oj in the mornings, Rob was really helpful with places to eat and visit
Great tidy property , walking distance to the beach and restaurants. There is plenty of space outside on lawn to play games.
Communication was great and easy checkin
Our family had a great stay at the property.
Rob was a wonderful host , very helpful.
The house was very clean and lots of space for everyone .Close to the beach and shops.
Would definitely stay again
Great place to stay on Whitianga - close to everything & perfect for a bigger group though we didn’t need all the space in the end. Rob was great to deal with and communication great and relaxed too.
Rob’s place was fantastic. Both upstairs and downstairs were nice and spacious, great beds, well equipped, and everything was very clean. Rob was very helpful too. Would happily stay again!

Spacious and conveniently located. Very clean but a little dated. Rob the owner was great and very nice and helpful.
GREAT LOCATION! Everything is at ealking distance, Rob very attentive. Play nice and clean and rooms very spacious. Had everything we needed. Thanks you!
Sybil's place was an ideal quiet location for us to explore the area. An easy walk to the beach , boats and coffee shops. A comfortable and very well equipped place with lots of space. We appreciated the opportunity to do some laundry mid trip
We would have only booked upstairs had we understood the configuration which was a bit confusing. Instead we paid for upstairs and downstairs and only used upstairs. apart form that it was a Tidy comfortable and warm house in a super central location.

Hi Zay,
Thanks for staying at Sybil's Place and for your valued feedback.
Just to clarify, our pricing is NOT based on what portion of the property you use (upstairs, downstairs or both), but based on the number of people staying, (After the two person minimum charge).
You have the whole property to use as you choose.
My apolgies if that isn't clear in our property decription, I will review that content and clarify accordingly.
Kind Regards
Rob
Perfect for a weekend away with friends. Space for everyone and communication excellent. Rob popped over to say hi and check everything was ok so he is right on hand. Communication was excellent and location perfect for us to walk to everything including lost spring. Highly recommend.
The property was clean, tidy and very comfortable. Great location for a fishing trip and plenty of off road room for our 6.5M boat. Excellent value and facilities. Thanks Rob
