Truly Tranquil and Beautiful Retreat

Amazing place to stay. Awesome cabins nestled amongst native bush with incredible sea views. Very peaceful. The cabins and other facilities were kept extremely clean at all times. Lovely, friendly hosts. Thanks Duan and Elizabeth. We will certainly recommend Ao Marama to all our friends.

Fabulous

What an amazing spot I am so glad I found it … perfect for me needing some down time . The track down to the awesome beach was magical and having great weather made it even more special….. the sunrise this morning was spectacular. The hosts were amazing and went beyond expectation. Thank you so much

All we were looking for and more

We loved the bush setting, the magnificent sunrises, the closeness to the beach & Milnthorpe Park and the tranquility/peacefulness of the Ao Marama Retreat. We would definitely recommend the Retreat to others. It was also lovely to be able to take our dog.

Peaceful surroundings and great views.

Peaceful surroundings and unprecedented views. However, a bit too pricey for a shared bathroom. A couple of other small improvements would make the world of difference such as bug screens on the cabin windows and hot running water in the kitchen to save the boiling of the jug for dishes. The outdoor kitchen was quirky. Only 5 minutes drive from Collingwood and a raft of other fabulous activities such as kayaking; hiking or going to the Takaka market (20 minutes) on a Saturday. The store in Bainham is also within 30 minutes drive and worth a look-in. The walk down to the beach was fabulous and the terrain unspoiled. The sunset from the deck was awesome. Wekas roamed about and everything was peaceful and relaxed. I felt healthy and rejuvenated, just taking in life as I sat in one of our private deck chairs on the lawn outside of our cabin.

Thanks Karen for your review and it's great you had a relaxing and rejuvenating stay. We'll give your feedback some consideration. Regarding the hot-water in the kitchen - at the moment with a long dry summer forecast we have to conserve water where we can - when the hot is switched on it means the the water runs over a litre before turning hot. The bug screens- we are looking into getting these on certain windows in the cabins - it's just a balance of not obscuring the fantastic views. Hope you both enjoy the rest of your summer. Kind regards Duan and Elizabeth
