Tuis nest is beautifully presented and clean. It is a great mid point between the city and Devonport which was really handy for us. The kitchen was a real home away from home and we appreciated the well stocked pantry. Great place to stay, we will definitely be back

About the host
Your host
Scott and Ade met in Perth 10 years ago. Scotts a construction professional and Ades an accountant. When we are not at our day jobs you can find us travelling the globe as much as possible!
Why they chose this property
This is a beautiful renovated unit situated east and west facing. Its a stones throw to the city center, less than 3km in a radius from the CBD. Despite its central location it backs on to a reserve where you can be at peace with a large variety of New Zealand's native bird life. High ceilings, generous storage options and a marvelous neighborhood all at an affordable budget. We have it all!
