    Stunning views from both sides of the property, wonderful. Great location, but you need a car around here. Thought it was very pricey for what it was - the place is a little tired but it was spotlessly clean. Very charming staff.

    Super, newly renovated room, sparkling clean, efficiently equipped kitchen, good induction hobs. Views to die for out over both the sea and the harbour. Quiet, peaceful location ten minutes and a hill into the town centre.

    Nothing it was great!

    The property was exceptional we LOVED it! We honestly hadn’t done much research into where we were staying and to say we were pleasantly surprised is an understatement! Michelle who welcomed us could not have been nicer, the type of person who makes you feel so so comfortable and at home immediately she is an absolute gem. From the gorgeous hot tub and extremely soft towels to the beautiful view and squeaky clean unit I would 100% stay here again. Again we want to thank Michelle she couldn’t have been nicer. Definitely recommend x

    Only thing would be the matt in the lounge area I do stretches days for my back an when I sat down it was very hairy n itchy I instantly tock my clothes off as it was like prickles in my clothes everything else was fine. I would say plastic Tupperware would be recommend

    View was beautiful out front an from kitchen window. Absolutely loved the space kids were very happy an that being a mum was very satisfying.

    I loved the view from the apartment, it was awesome! Location was good for the kids as it wasn’t near a main road.

    Nothing much. The only thing was there was a balcony light we couldn't switch off, but further to this we couldn't see anything wrong with the place, service and hospitality.

    Firstly, this place was newly renovated and very clean. Our unit has a jacuzzi on the balcony and was fantastic, even through the colder nights. The TV was already signed in to Netflix, Disney +, TVNZ etc., so we didn't have to worry about entering our logins. This town is also very save where everyone lookout for each other, even if your a visitor.
