Estate Staabi accommodation from NZ$385

This was a wonderful stay, at a really beautiful location. We had an ocean/bay view in pirate's pension & it was a fabulous room, like a mini suite complete with sink, microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, couch & coffee table, dining table, & patio balcony, with table & chairs, even had a washer & dryer. Despite what listing said it definitely has towels, both room & pool towels. Room was clean. View is awesome. There is a lot of walking/stairs in this resort & even though it is not far, it is not easy to walk into town on those very steep mountain roads, especially in the heat. They do have golf carts that can drive you around the resort only but not to the bottom of the entrance. There is no free airport shuttle. Taxis are generally $12-15/pp & you are charger per person, each way. There is no Uber or Lyft. Car rental is VERY expensive (we were told $1400 for a jeep wrangler for 5 days) & it's often hard to find parking. I recommend taxis, but get the # of your driver & use the same one the whole time, they're very accommodating. You will likely have to share a taxi with others. Hotel amenities were simple but pretty great, a nice pool & hot tub, pool bar closed at 4p & then the open air on site restaurant is open til late & overlooks the pool & harbor also. There are some activities on certain nights like bingo or karaoke. You can (self guided)tour Blackbeard's historic castle for $5, which was pretty cool to see the 360* view at the top. Overall great & would return!

My room was ocean view. It was a beautiful sight to see abd hear the ocean during my visit .

Great staff
