2 day stay
Overall was very satisfactory. Very friendly owner with an adorable litlle puppy. Only drawback is no offstreet parking. Not a biggy. Was great just for me and my husband - spacious. Unfortunate about the bad weather as we couldn't access outside. Outside looked nice.

Work break in Gisborne.
Lovely property and good location. Very clean and comfortable. Most things were provided with a couple of exceptions I hadn't noted prior to arriving. I wasn't aware there would not be any milk until I arrived and the same with no TV. There is wifi so I used this instead. I would have liked to have access to an iron. But overall a lovely place to stay.

Clean and well equipped unit.
Very nice unit, Clean, well equipped and the hosts were very nice. Also, great location - walking distance to central Gisborne and the Balance Street Village. Guests should be aware that the wifi is very weak, there is no TV and very little privacy as the unit is the back yard which is used by the host family.
