If you want to sit among the pohutukawa trees enjoying the sound of the surf & the birds, this is the place to be. Good host, great location for a getaway.

Great location with a walk on the beach just across the road.
The shower is standing in the hot tub, a new configuration for us. Unfortunately, low water levels made the hot tub not recommended.
The French Press needs attention, but otherwise appreciated given the remote location! 😀

great place to relax
Great spot. The Honey Loft was a great place to relax. Beach access across the street. Quiet. OK, you could hear the waves breaking, but that was nice.

The property is off the beaten track but only a short drive to Cafes and supermarket. Across the road from Ohope Beach with it's sands, dunes and sea only a 100m walk.
Beautifully rustic self contained room, well appointed, clean and tidy for a restful stay.
Perfect stopover or escape from the hustle and bustle.

Wished we could have stayed longer than 1night. Stephan greeted us when we arrived and went through a few things. Gave us a great recommendation for dinner, and was very friendly.
The property itself was amazing!! The view from the deck is breathtaking!!
Highly recommend!!
