Great hospitality and warm welcome from our host Paulina who directed us through SMS to the property, waited for us on the drizzling rain as we arrived late in the evening. The studio has everything we need and spacious for the 3 of us. The little pond by the studio reminds us of Monet's garden in France.:)

Staff were super friendly and offered me a lot of help, laundry was the cheapest so far I’ve done in New Zealand. The beds, bathroom, kitchen are very clean. Location is good, was in a quiet neighborhood and still close to the city center.
