Kohimarama tranquility
Very clean and comfortable B&B. Owner requests that shoes be removed and no pork products may be cooked. It’s an easy walk from this residential neighborhood to the beach that has good restaurants.

Do not even think about staying at this property. I booked a week before then the host rang us when we were on the way to the property to say that we would have to pay an extra $25 because she thought Wotif was taking too much cut. We refused so she refused to honour the booking.

EXCELLENT - exactly as advertised - perfect stay
The room was exactly as the photos showed - not often do we get this! Thank you for being honest! A supreme place to stay - very clean, superbly decorated, comfy bed with enough pillows to make you sleep like a baby. Loved our stay - nothing was a problem. You get your own breakfast in the well equipped kitchen - you can eat outside on the sunny deck or inside on the table. There's a tele in the main room with a very comfy couch. The owner is soooo lovely - we had a friendly chat in the morning - she has made this place so welcoming and delightful to stay in. The location is great for getting around in the car - close to shops, beach, scenic drives. Easy to park the car - in the driveway if suitable, or on the road - all free. The bathroom is large and has all you need. Good size wardrobes in the bedroom, free slippers and dressing gown to wear. Highly recommend and will happily come again - thanks a lot!
