Clean and cosy, amazing views and superb hospitality. Despite rain and wind and so much cloud nothing was visible across the Hauraki Gulf, we had the best relaxing time. Denise was friendly and so helpful and we loved the little chocolates and grapes and handmade biscuits . (Yummiest shortbread!!). The apartment was cosy and spotless. We had blankets and were super warm. The deck is amazing so we will have to come back another time to enjoy the bbq. Great shower and bathroom. Thank you so much
