Another great stay, thank you!

This was our second stay at Mark and Leone’s property. We love waking up and being able to look over to Mt Mania. Nice, short commute to Ruakaka for the surf lifesaving event we came up for. Hosts were so hospitable and accommodating, thank you once again!

This is the perfect place to unwind. The beach and surrounding views are amazing. We enjoyed biking to the marina, walking the beach and soaking up the scenery from the comfy chairs. Mark and Leona are fantastic! Highly recommend!

Great stay thanks!

Loved so much about this place. The location - right on the beach and the amazing harbor views, the use of the paddleboards and bikes, the quiet little suburban area, the Marina cafe, the unit feeling spacious and having the kitchenette and bathroom and even the good quality instant coffee supplied. It was a holiday made more special by the accommodation. Thanks again Leone and Mark

Pleasant spot

Nice wee space, great views out over the bay and very close to the beach. One Tree Point itself is a bit soulless, beach fairly narrow when the tide is in.

Lovely little place with everything you need. Loved being able to walk down the steps to the beach. Only negative is that the bed is just a double so was pretty cosy nights sleep.

More than just a home stay!

Mark and Leone have been the most amazing and supportive owners, assisting the stay of our employees. Their utmost concern that our staff over a several month period have been comfortable, supportive and happy not only with accommodation but with their time in general whilst visiting the area supporting business activities. Mark and Leone have also been really flexible and even supported one of our employees with opening a bank account locally. Thank you to them both, and I look forward to engaging them and their lovely unit again in the future.
