Saltwater Studio

NinaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I enjoyed staying at Alison's place. The little apartment is spacious and has got everything. The bed is super large, enough sheets and extra duvets for cold nights, everything was clean and easy to handle and find. My arrival time changed a couple of times which I communicated and the comms was great. I travelled by myself and felt safe. The apartment is part of a larger house but separated and has got its own entrance at the front of the house. Within a couple of minutes you can walk to the wharf and have a coffee in the sunshine at a little cafe.

One of the best Airbnb places I have stayed in. The space is large , but cozy, is well set out, and has everything that you need. It's a wonderfully quiet and peaceful rural setting, yet only a 5 minutes from town (Motueka). Your hosts are friendly, fun, welcoming, and great communicators. If you're looking to stay in this area, look no further! 🙂
