This is an older villa with a mix of old and new. There are an impressive amount of spaces to socialize: two living rooms, front deck, back deck, large eat-in kitchen, indoor or outdoor dining areas. We particularly enjoyed the renovated kitchen and back deck with large garden space. The neighbourhood was quiet and after our tough trail race we enjoyed retreating to a bit of A/C and books available in the home. The home's rooms are large and well equipped. It was a quick drive to the beach, and a nice local cafe is within walking distance. The backyard would be amazing for lawn games or kids. The carpets could use some updating as well as the twin mattresses (I slept on one) though the big picture is that it's an amazing space. I look forward to another stay someday.

We feel blessed to have had the property as our base for my daughters wedding where she came to prepare herself before the church service. The spacious rooms and outdoor areas gave us the ambience to enjoy the special moments that comes with such a celebration. The well stocked kitchen provided all we needed as well. Only issue was the main oven fan created alot of smoke so we didnt use it but the smaller oven was sufficient. Woukd gladly stsy again.

Our experience during our stay was a bit of a mixed bag. The house itself was delightful, offering a cozy and homely atmosphere. It was well-maintained, neat, and the back deck area provided a pleasant spot to relax.
However, our main issue revolved around the communication with the property manager, which was rather disappointing. Regrettably, we encountered difficulties reaching the property manager. While I could receive messages from the property manager through the Bookabach messaging function, I was unable to respond. Additionally, the listed phone number for the property manager appeared to be incorrect or disconnected, as my repeated attempts to make contact were unsuccessful.
Not being able to communicate with the property manager led to an inconvenience, as it rendered me unable to modify our guest count (reduce it) before our stay. This resulted in the cost of our stay being $200 higher than it should have been, which was frustrating.

This location and place was perfect for our staff to relax and unwind while working away from our homes to aid the relief and repair the damages of Cyclone Gabrielle. I didn’t stay at the property but my staff had said it was perfect, clean, quiet and spacious. I will definitely come straight back to this place should (it is expected) our business need to return to the area. Ngā mihi, Thank You for having us.

Property was warm, clean and comfortable.
There is only 1 point that would have made our stay better, stronger Wifi. We were on a working weekend and the Wifi was lagging.

We were in Gisborne for a three-day conference. We couldn't have had a better space to use as our base. The house is well sited in a quiet area and the amenities exceed your expectations. As four professional women presenting and running workshops, we had space to spread out work. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants a home away from home and especially if you are planning a family gathering or just a get away with friemds.

We had a fabulous time in this property. There were eight of us (adults) staying for a family holiday/catch up and this property served all our needs. The location is excellent and the communication with Kathy (host) was top notch. Our flights had been changed and it was not a problem for us to check in earlier than expected. We loved Gisborne and hope to be back again one day.

Excellent Whanau Gathering
It was great to organise this getaway to celebrate our duaghters 40th birthday in Gisborne. The property provided everything we needed, and we were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was with crockery etc. We felt very at home and comfortable. The place has lots of room and the outdoor setting was great as well. I enjoyed taking my three year old granddaughter down to the park, and buying a bag of organges from the neighbours. We'll be back!

From the first step inside it felt nice and cosy. The fire was going making it welcoming. Lots of space for 4 adults to chill out in. We couldn’t find an instruction book but everything was easy to use or figure out. Would recommend to friends if visiting the area
