    Excellent. Very friendly owners. The house is very comfortable in a quiet part of gisborne but only a 10/15 minute walk from the centre. 25 min walk to the beach. Amazing breakfast. Lovely to stay in an older classic New Zealand property instead of an impersonal new motel for a change.…

    The property was very well appointed and spacoiuos, Ivan couldn't have been more helpful when we arrived. Property is located right on the beach with access via the garden. Nice porch out back and a deck at the end of the garden. Use of barbecue immediately outside the unit, who would want to go out to eat with so much fresh fish available and such lovely surroundings. Ivan and Carnie did also welcome us to use the pool set up in the garden but we stuck to the sea!! Thank you both for a wonderful stay, we were sorry to leave!…
