Read More...Hetty showed us around the apartment complex before leaving for Tasmania. It was great to be surrounded by lots of personal art. The surrounding area of Hamilton has plenty of easily accessed services with much within easy walking distance. There's an excellent range of restaurants and cafes with friendly staff in all of those we frequented. There is no need to drive into the city as there are plenty of buses to catch and the river cat ferries can be easily accessed when they are running again. A perfect exchange for us. Thank you Hetty.
