Perfect for what we needed

My husband and I came down for a quiet weekend near the Blue Lakes, and to participate in one of the sporting events down there. It was a great location, only a couple of km from the event start, plenty of space for us both, and most importantly - peaceful. Easy access to town and pretty much everything we needed. Plenty of space for both of us and our gear, big bathroom and comfortable living area. We'd definitely come back again. Cheers!

Thank you , you are a very welcoming, relaxed and accommodating host. The bride and her attendants found it the perfect place to prepare for the wedding. Your cottage is very handy to Black House on the point so it was just right for the two of us and it is well equiped to ask people back for a cuppa/drink. Regards Gael and Bryan, Waiheke Island.

Lovely place

My husband surprised me with a getaway. We stayed two nights. The first night we sat outside with wine and cheese enjoying the tui. It was just what we needed for the weekend. The second night we are sitting outside again, and then the music started. Our hosts were hosting a "tweenage" Halloween party. Loud music and swearing were not what we were expecting and the intrusion to our privacy was also unwelcome. It's a really lovely place, and quite well appointed, but it would have been nice to have had two quiet nights.

Hi Ricky, My sincere apologies that this affected your Saturday night stay. I was away and obviously not aware of the objectionable lyrics in the music played. I understand that it was over by 9.15pm and will private message you to compensate. Suzy
