It was a long way out of town, not enough signposting and then when we entered the road, a long way in, no sign to say we were at the right spot, we became concerned as we needed some sign stating Studio 411 ahead or some such sign

Morning light came into room early.

I would call it a "farmstay."Situated high on the hills SW above Richmond. Well maintained garden surrounds, birdsong, quail family come out at dusk, friendly hosts. Spacious studio separated from house. Good bathroom with good shower, lounge area with window seat chairs & desk,, kitchenette.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

Booking this little gem at the last minute, and not knowing the area, we weren’t sure what to expect. Beautiful scenic drive to this private little piece of property close to Mapua. We arrived after 4pm and lovely hosts Maureen and Bernie met us at the property and handed over the keys. They were welcoming and friendly and couldn’t be more helpful with where to go and what to do. We did a day cruise out of Kaiteriteri the next day and decided to stay a second night. They made this very easy. Very private and quiet. Netflix was a bonus after a big day.

Need a few more window and door blinds where they're missing to block out early morning light if you're a light sleeper.

Location, lovely views from drive, quiet, nice apartment.

nothing!

Location may be off the beaten track but, it is central to everything. Maybe 15-20 minutes from city, country or food options. A lovely rural drive to get to all those facilities. You then have the benefit of a lovely self contained unit on a rural property with plenty of peace, quiet and fresh air. The hosts are friendly and gave us plenty of privacy . Pretty much the perfect holiday location in a beautiful part of the world, superb!

We particularly enjoyed the location and the opportunity to walk over the farm and see the amazing view out towards the ocean. Our hosts were very friendly and informative about the area and also generous in sharing the delicious feijoas and mandarins in their lovely garden. The unit was large and well placed in relation to the main house to ensure privacy.

Purely a couple of suggestions I wish I had the time to verbally just convey. First was maybe some signage at the initial gate entry which is not a major but believe anyone arriving for the first time at night and in darkness would appreciate The other was purely because I turned the shower on thinking I'll give it a minute or 2 to heat up. Probably absent minded but I put the shower on and as they were already open didn't shut the doors and upon coming back a couple of minutes later there was a fair bit of water on the floor. It obviously has great water pressure but suggest they angle the shower head towards the side wall so the next buffoon who thinks like me doesn't use all but one of the towels cleaning up his mess

There was only Netflix we were told, but when trying the tv we couldn’t get it to work..turned out you needed to log in with your own Netflix account - which we didn’t have.

It did not feel very private. There was a glass door and one or two windows that had no curtains or blinds, and on the other side of them is the host's property. This also means that it's impossible to stop light getting in if you want to sleep in in the morning. It was smaller than expected. It was advertised as 60m2 and it is smaller than that. The apartment was advertised with a sea view, which there was not. Possibly the trees have grown taller since that was written and obscured it.

The hosts were nice. The apartment was in a pleasant setting with beautiful gardens. Everything was clean. The free WiFi worked fine.

Found 3 massive cockroaches on the wall. No curtain for the front door for privacy. Keep hearing loud bangs. My partner couldn’t sleep well so we left early the next morning. Finding the place that night was a mission no sign to direct us to the top. Would be good if more lighting as well. Either than that everything was good.
