Our hosts were wonderful. The property was a home away from home, and the harbor views were breathtaking. We will definitely be back to enjoy the Wainui community and surrounds.

This home has the absolutely stunning views of the bay, and with the yard in spring bloom, the views were framed by color. We had an amazing time.

A beautifully appointed family home. All you need with a side serving of serenity. The Bell birds out the kitchen window were a joy and the night sky was beautiful. Warm and comfortable. We even got a lovely welcome gift. Thank you.

Easter family getaway

Lovely property with really nice views across the harbour (when it wasn't too cloudy!). We appreciated the welcome gift and overall presentation of the accommodation, plus the wood burner was great. The only thing that confused us was the lack of a freezer, which we didn't realise would be the case. We very much enjoyed our relaxing stay though and my mum in particular loved the abundance of birdlife since she is an avid birdwatcher. Thanks Julie & Andrew, Nick & Elsie!

Great location

Well situated property with an amazing view. More than enough room for the whole family with the required amenities. A bbq would have been nice to fully utilise the outside deck area.

Ideal for a quiet break

A great experience close to nature. Amazing views over the harbour. Watching the cruise ships arrive and depart great to watch. Birdlife in abundance, night sky amazing. A very comfortable home to stay in with good coverage for internet and tv. Will definitely be coming back.
