Fully renovated with all new appliance. Nice and clean. Beautiful views of the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean, close to restaurants, cafes, bars, shopping centers and the Whitestone historic area. Walking distance to the Little Blue Penguin Colony. You would have outstanding photographic opportunities if you care to wonder to find. Your stay will be memorable :)
I like travelling and knowing about the different cultures. maybe we have the same interests and hobbies .That`s why you choose The Penguins Nest.
Luxury sea view apartment. 3 minutes walk to the historic area and shopping center,cafes library etc... about 10 minutes walk to the Penguin Colony.
