A fabulous place to get away to. So well equipped with all the amenities to make life easy. Beautiful space to rest and relax in. Super clean, gorgeous views, lots of beaches close by. Comfortable beds, fantastic showers with plenty of hot water. Warm, modern and very cozy.

“Absolutely loved being right by the water so peaceful and relaxing. The accommodation was spot‑on, exactly what I expected, and I’m already keen to come back. Easily one of the best spots in the area. It felt wonderfully isolated, yet only five minutes down the road were Pounawea and Owaka for a good meal out. Perfect balance of quiet and convenience.”
