A gem of an owner of a gem of a property

Christine could not have been a better host. She was very responsive to our needs. She was very informative about where to go eat, places to see and parks to visit. We stayed for three months and was sad to say goodbye to her and her and the property. There was nothing amiss. It truly was a “hidden gem”!

This place is what it states - A hidden gem. Host Christine was very helpful for the stay. The place is very comfortable, clean and has everything you require. We stayed early September 2024 and wished we could have stayed longer. Breakfast provided was amazing. Couldnt fault the accommodation. A lot of food places close by if you didnt want to cook. Definitely a place to stay if you are in the Upper Hutt region.
