Sunny and comfortable.

MoetuRating, 5 starstoday

Would highly recommend and would book again for sure! Instructions were very thorough, place was clean and tidy. Beautiful backyard and had everything you would need when staying at an Air bnb and more. Additionally, gave us the option to check in earlier - which was super helpful and later if needed. Very nice, and very appreciated. 😊

Great reviews! Clean, Comfortable and central!

Kim Rating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We stayed at Pamela's home for a month in April/May. The home was conveniently located for everything we did in Gisborne and was very clean and spacious!! Amanda was helpful with any inquiries we had and graciously provided fresh linens weekly. It was nice to have a tub and large bathroom (no electric outlets took some getting used to for us but learned that is common for safety reasons). Would stay again! Thank you!

Absolute riverfront, close walk to town cafes bars

MichelleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

It was our 2nd stay at Ellie's house and we love it. It is a beautiful property, with a 100% amazing river view. It was great to watch the waka's every morning and evening. Ellie is a great host, left us to it, but was there if we needed her, and I could not recommend her place any higher. If possible, we will re book every time we are in Gisborne

Peaceful Paradise

SharonRating, 5 stars3 months ago

The unit was absolutely spotless and well equipped, the bed was very comfortable. It was a little closer to the main house than expected but there’s a screen outside the door so not a problem.
