Fantastic stay

This accommodation surpassed our expectations for a large family weekend away. With 7 adults, 3 kids and a teenager, there was ample space for us all in the modern setup. A great outdoor fireplace made for atmospheric evenings, and a perfect place to dry out after we enjoyed a soak in the spa pool. Next time will go prepared to make pizza in the outdoor pizza oven...! Highly recommended!

Mangawhai holiday

Lovely property and location, great space for our family . Excellent and friendly communication from the property managers. We all loved staying here and would probably like to return . The only thing I'd like to suggest is a replenishment of a a few basics.... glasses and coffee mugs please, some of them are a bit chipped and tired

Quality Family time during Cyclone Hale's visit to NZ

We had a great time even though we didn't manage to go boating due to the adverse weather brought on by cyclone Hale. We were 2 families of 4. There was plenty of space for all to sleep comfortably. The lovely home is well-designed for entertaining on either side of the house. There is a lovely BBQ and Pizza Oven area which we enjoyed. There are all the household appliances you may need. Smart Tv and Wifi all great. There was plenty of wood for the Pizza Oven. Dave the property manager was fantastic in helping resolve 2 small/very minor issues). It is nicely located and very spacious. Only 5-7 mins drive from the shops and beach etc. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We will be back......
