From the moment we met our hosts, to the last second before driving away 3 days later, we (Mum, Dad, 6-yr old daughter) were Absolutely amazed. Stunning views, incredibly helpful and inspired hosts, wonderful apartment - we especially liked the knick-knacks scattered around, fantastic weather, all combined to make for a truly relaxing and delightful stay. The gallery needs to... More

This place was recommended by a friend, and as it was priced slightly higher than a room. We were apprehensive. What a fantastic stay! Everything we could ask for including a view. Walking distance to everywhere and a very comfortable bed, and walk in tile shower. Very comfortable for a couple or a 3 family deal. Spacious and a well... More

Don’t miss an opportunity to stay at this wonderful place the "Absolutely" unit. The magnificent view alone is enough to make it very special, while the accommodation itself is spacious and light, comfortable and quirky enough to add interest. As well as plenty of indoor space, “Absolutely” has its own private terrace overlooking the amazing view. Everything we needed was... More

Only had two nights here but we so enjoyed the very stylish,spacious and unique accommodation. Stunning to sit on the decking with a glass of wine in the evening. Do be sure to browse around the gallery and look at some very interesting work done by two very talented people. More

It was by chance that we went through Walter and Brigitte's gallery while visiting Kaikoura. We purchased an abstract gilded sculpture which was captivating in style, and the quality of the workmanship was brilliant. This was cased into a well made box that accompanied us around the South Island for 5000 km. And when opened back in Napier was in... More

Great gallery - make sure you stop on the way up/down from the lookout. Quality gallery with a lovely lookout. Brought a bone carving necklace, a style of a flower that I had never seen before - beautiful. Lovely admiring the gild work too and mirrors. More

We have visitied the two artists in their wonderful gallery at least 3 times in the last few years. It was great to admire their work and see their progress, be that with the Kaikoura Mirrors, the sculptures, the paintings or the jewellery. It's difficult to say which one of the pieces we bought became our absolute favourite. Most probably... More
