10/10 Excellent

Tony was a great host, super friendly. The space was lovely - it was our favorite stay during our NZ trip. The unit felt super upscale and the bathroom layout was great for us as a couple with his/hers showers and his/hers sinks. The space felt truly elevated in comparison to anywhere else we’ve stayed in NZ.
