The bnb had plenty of space and comfortable beds, which made our stay relaxing in that regard. Unfortunately, the kitchen and utensils were very dirty, as if they hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. We didn’t use the kitchen at all because of this, which was disappointing

Beautiful building and views over the city. Very interesting Maori section. The Maori performance was informative and interesting - worth the price.
