Built in 1908 this refurbished heritage villa is located in a quiet, upmarket area of town.

Restaurants and cafes and the main shopping areas and parks are within a 15 minutes' walk

The extensive gardens with several water features are home to a variety of birds.

The room with the balcony was sooo pretty- same goes for the bathroom and the entire villa. The very nice owner topped it off with the best breakfast we have had in NZ. Freshly prepared with homemade produce. Highly recommendable!

    Really great hostel, vibey communal space, and comfy room (I had a private). The staff were very accommodating - given I arrived late, and they also provided me with a space heater to dry out my wet things after the torrential rain. Would certainly stay again.

    Staying in a homestay situation was great and we enjoyed meeting our host Graham and he was a great host who was very easy to get along with. The location was great, and just a quick walk to the beach. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of it. Loved meeting very friendly Mitch the cat.
