Due to a calendar error, my guests had to wait 2 hours while the house was prepared, and check in at 6 pm instead of 4 pm. I’m pleased that they enjoyed their stay after that initial hiccup. By way of apology and compensation, I refunded to them the entire payment for their first night’s stay.

Ellie met us at her lovely home and explained details about our stay. The stunning view out the kitchen window is even better in person! This home has charm, cozy furnishings, and a well-stocked kitchen—perfect for our Christmas holiday.

We loved our stay at Ellie’s place. It had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. There were lots of space, indoors and outdoors, for our big family to hang out and enjoy the stunning views on offer. The location is unbeatable - walking distance to Kaiteriteri main beach/town centre and Little Kaiteriteri, whilst being in our own private little oasis. Ellie is a lovely host - friendly and responsive, and flexible with check-in. Would highly recommend her house to everyone!
