Hi Patrick I did not see nor respond to your review till just now. I think VRBO must just leave a default figure.. I see I can not adjust it. However you were model guests and do hope you can return in the future..... If so book direct to avoid computer generated mistakes. best regards Michelle

Amazing place to stay, location couldn’t be beaten

Absolutely gorgeous property, we loved the water being right out there door, and there were so many things to do (kids still spent 90% of their time on the warf right next door). Lots of extras to make holidaying easier (things like a vacuum cleaner available for a quick tidy, and go cups for coffee were so helpful). 100% recommended.

It was difficult to leave!

Thanks for a lovely stay in this beautiful house, fabulous location. The house is a hip skip and jump from the fun cafes, shops and wine bars at Mapua wharf, with stunning views across the water to Rabbit Island. Everything was spacious, comfortable and well organised in the house. We enjoyed an afternoon of cycling on the island, as well as our time on the deck and in living spaces. Great place, we would love to come back again.

Outstanding accommodation

This is an outstanding modern and stylish house, right on the edge of the water with a gorgeous view. Bright, airy and colourful with every facility you might need, including the use of kayaks. There are good restaurants and bar just along from the house but there was no noise from these, even on a busy Friday evening. Michelle was the perfect host. She met us when we arrived and was on hand to help with anything, but never intruded. Highly recommend.
