“The Bays Bed & Breakfast, nestled near Kohimarama Beach, strikes me as a particularly thoughtful choice for families; the rare free parking and in-room kitchenettes are definite assets. I imagine starting the day with a cooked-to-order breakfast, followed by a short stroll to the beach. Evenings could easily be spent on the sun terrace, making use of the barbecue.”
