Thank you so much for a lovely stay. Many had wonderful communication and the check in process was seamless.The house was immaculate when we arrived.The backyard was amazing for our kids, they thoroughly enjoyed running around and it was great knowing they were totally safe given the property was fully fenced.We were lucky to get beautiful weather and sitting down on the deck to enjoy our morning coffee whilst overlooking the water was glorious.We had an event on at the marae but with having a little one we wanted our own space to sleep, being a 2 minute walk was so handy. Thanks so much, we will definitely be back!

We loved our stay at this gorgeous spot. Plenty of room for everyone and the house was well equipped and so cute and quirky. We loved the deck and back yard, and the short walk to the beach.

The location was absolutely wonderful, so peaceful and beautiful. It was difficult to get to, as it was half an hour to the nearest town on twisty mountain roads. But it was wonderful when we arrived. The sea was lovely for swimming and the wildlife was great.

The cabin was a great getaway, we really enjoyed our stay there. Awesome view out to sea, relaxing on the deck with a drink while using the bbq was nice. The kids loved the easy walk to the beach and the tree swing, and had a great time playing with the friendly neighbours cat. You have a treasure here, thank you for allowing us to stay.
