Gem of a house

Very sweet house. Lots of history and original art. Can’t beat the location as the beach is right across the street. I would definitely stay again!

City and Beach

Exactly what we wanted. Great location, great house, great history, great furniture. Really appreciated milk in fridge and full fruit bowl. We enjoyed the city, but loved being at the beach. Would definately recommend. Thank you.

Stunning little gem

Even in a howling gail we were warm, comfortable and relaxed. Easy to all the places we 'tourist'ed. Beds are great quality. All the kitchen appliances and almost unlimited hot water your family would need.

Even better than I'd hoped

I felt privileged to be staying in such an historic and characterful house full of art. When I got there I said to my husband, "I feel like I'm in a Katherine Mansfield story" and then later I found a book of her short stories in our bedroom. While I enjoyed being inside, equally if not better was the heavenly garden and the front porch where I could watch the interislander ferries gliding past.
