    They had lots of extras, nice breakfast things avaliable, as well as some things you could purchase if you didn't manage to buy things prior or arriving late. Off street parking, close to the city centre, was a leisurely walk away. Had a market happening at the end of the street on Sat too. It's the front part of a bigger house but we didn't get too much sound bleed from rest of the house but we were aware of being a tad quiet when getting in late in the evening. I would stay here again, nice host too.

    Nothing, it was a lovely place to stay.

    Comfortable beds, lovely big porch, generous breakfast provisions, great water pressure, super location on a lovely quiet street walking distance to town.

    Excellent location.- very close to town shopping & cafes and on nice quiet tree- lined street. Host meeting us at airport with the car we were renting from her was so wonderfully convenient! Efficient & friendly host. Couldn’t ask for more!

    There was no oven, if we'd wanted to cook. The main room was a bit dark, due to the layout of the accommodation. The manual said the air conditioning took about 15 minutes to warm up but on a cold night, you really want instant heat.

    Perfect location for our needs. Breakfast food was a lovely touch and much appreciated. The bedding was warm. The shower was great.

    Only minor issue was the lack of somewhere comfortable to sit inside - but in the warm afternoon we sat at the table provided outside.

    Lovely little place just around the corner from the CBD of Gisborne. Walked to the Harbour most evenings for dinner where there were plenty of choices. Place was clean and tidy.

    Can't think of a thing!

    The host of this accommodation has thought of everything that a traveler could possibly need and/or want. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, etc. A thoughtful supply of breakfast foods was available, including fruit, yogurt, juice, milk, dry cereal, etc. The love seat in the main room was just right for comfort and mobility (getting up!). We appreciated the parking space that got our vehicle off the street. It's not possible to list all of the meaningful small amenities that were offered. Thanks, Neerja

    The bedroom decor showed few, if any signs of the 100 year old character cottage. Bedside lamps were for mood lighting rather than for reading; yet 12 lightbulbs on the ceiling were sadly soul destroying. The lovely gingham sofa pictured when booked had been replaced with one much less lovely. Depressing raw mdf large shelving unit oversized for purpose, with 3 empty shelves confirming that. Paintwork on the bathroom door frame needs touching up; bedroom carpet wrinkles ( cover with rug or ?re-lay ).

    Location, character cottage, clean with a cute kitchen set up and dining area; the front verandah for somewhere to sit for drinks. Loved the character dining table & chairs - rustic vintage style very appealing. Comfortable bedding.

    Lovely host. Super friendly and helpful. Able to borrow their spare car at an extra fee which made the trip easier. Nice little spread of breakfast items available complimentary. Lovely porch and good off street parking space outside the house. Free wifi. Streaming sites available on TV (Netflix and Disney plus). Able to do airport pick up and drop offs. Great Gisborne recommendations provided. Overall a great stay!

    An opening window in the bathroom would have been a bonus, but otherwise everything was perfect.

    The room was exactly as described, we had complimentary breakfast items, the aircon was great, it was very hot during our stay & the aircon unit was practically silent. Walking distance to town, lots of space for our stuff, a good shower, & a check in from the host via the app to make sure we had everything we needed.
