“Quirky, clean, homely stay with magnificent views of the marina.”
+Don’s Place is very quirky with the best views of any properties we have stayed in during our NZ trip. So many lovely touches, including bacon and eggs for us to cook for breakfast. Comfy bed, very clean kitchen and bathroom, and walking distance to the Jolly Roger, where you get 10% discount on food if you show them your key. Don is a friendly and welcoming host. Wish we could have stayed longer.

“Excellent host and great value for money”
+It is clear that Don puts a great amount of effort in to making it a nice place to stay. Every cupboard has some sort of "bonus" in it that I didn't expect and highly appreciated. I feel like my money was well spent and would have felt the same if the price was higher. Good on ya Don.
−The double bed was okay but the two single beds were both way too soft and not very nice for an adult to sleep in

“Great views but lacking some essentials like reliable Wifi.”
+The view was beautiful. There was bacon, bread, milk, eggs and margarine in the fridge. A nice thoughtful gesture. We didn't use any of it though as we had our own groceries.
−The Wifi was extremely slow and patchy, not ideal for someone who has to work whilst traveling. The beds were very spongy and gave us sore backs. The lighting in the lounge room does not work. Very high on a hill, impossible to go for a walk or to the shops.

“Comfortable enough for a quick stopover to wait for the ferry”
+The view from the kitchen and dining is lovely.
−It is a shared property, not a house to yourself. The mattresses are not very comfortable
