Austin Heights is a beautiful property and Juanita is a fantastic host. Everything was spotlessly clean. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was just what we needed to start our day!

This chalet was the absolute highlight of our holiday in New Zealand so far. It is a well equipped, modern, luxurious, super clean and spacious chalet type accommodation. It has absolutely everything you can think of - and the absolute highlight are of course the animals! What a joy to have then right next to you and being able to feed them by yourself! Also super lovely to have complimentary drinks and breakfast ready in the fridge. The hosts are very kind. If we ever come back to NZ then we would definitely come back here! Top recommendation!

The room was airy with two separate sliding doors giving access to the garden and decks with tables and chairs for dining outdoors. The room got the morning sun. The bathroom was spacious, and two glass walls of the shower opened right up. The breakfast was laid out for the guests from 8 to 9am, and included mostly breads and sugary things and dairy, which is typical for European breakfasts. I don't eat sugar or dairy, but managed to find enough: boiled eggs, fresh fruit and cold cuts.

Waves is in an excellent location just a few minutes walk from town. Our two bedroom apartment was at the front of the building and enjoyed fabulous views out to sea. It had two outside balcony areas ideal for capturing different views for dinner and breakfast. The kitchen was very well appointed and contained all that you need to prepare meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms were both of a good size and spotlessly clean. Little or no road noise because of double glazing and a pretty quiet location.
