Favorite VRBO in New Zealand
This place was by far our favorite VRBO stay during our recent 2-week tour of the country that involved 4 other stays. It is in this great neighborhood that is only a 7-minute drive from the airport. The host thinks of everything including making sure that there's milk, wine, and beer in the fridge for your beverage needs and a candy bar on your bed, right by the softest towels ever. The views were so spectacular that I passed on an afternoon sightseeing adventure just so I could sit on the adirondack chairs on the private patio. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. Thanks so much for the great hospitality!

Close to everything we needed
Lovely spot and handy to airport and to stadium for volleyball tournament. Great base to explore Miramar peninsula.
Noisy at times with airport close by and owners living directly above but very clean and comfortable.
