The Ocean was visible from every room except the toilet and laundry. The teen boys loved it and found it relaxing after a busy day on the beach competing for SLSNZ. The kitchen facilities were good and allowed for making nutritious meals to keep the young athletes well fueled. The beds were comfy.

One of the best places we've ever stayed

We've stayed at almost 100 different places in NZ over 13 trips and this one rates near the top. Fabulous view, stunning house, total privacy, excellent support from the property manager. We loved it and hope to return for a longer stay in future.

Incredible views, tranquil atmosphere and abundant bird life. Incredibly kind and accomodating hosts. My son was lucky to have spent his first two months at the property while renovations were completed at our home. We spent many hours in the sun drenched living room and enjoyed our first walks together on the beach below.
