Emma also helped receive our grocery shopping delivery and placed them nicely in the fridge before we arrived - much appreciated. Great ocean view from the bedrooms. The place provides high-quality amenities and fixtures, with modern-style furniture. The well-pointed location leads to a nice track to Mount Kauku. The beds and pillows are very comfortable.
