Very friendly owners, very comfortable bed and pillows. Beautiful morning views of sea and mountains

− The kitchen area slightly too small, maybe microwave could go on shelf on the wall to give more room.

We've never given a 10 star review before...

We run self guided motorcycle tours of Aoteara New Zealand. We book a lot of accomodation, and I don't often find the time to write a review. But this time was the exception. When we get feedback like "I'd give my left kidney to live here", and "nothing was too much trouble", you know your client (and your business reputation) was in good hands. Thank you team Shearwater from the team here at Wandrith Motorcycle Journeys!

Beautiful apartment, fabulous views

10.0

The high end apartment was spotlessly clean. It is in a great location and the views are incredible. The cheese, crackers and wine were a thoughtful addition. Jane was so helpful with recommendations of a great walk and booked a great restaurant for us. A great find.
