The photography really does not get close to doing this property justice. The views from Cliff House are magical. The house itself is perfectly set up for 4-5 five people. We went with teenage kids and there was enough room for everybody to have their own space and enjoy their time. A great house with phenomenal views in a brilliant location.

They say that photos can be deceptive - very often photos of houses look better than the actual place. Cliffhouse defies that logic and no photos can do justice to the beauty of the place. Breathtaking, jaw dropping, incredibly beautiful - what can I say about the awesomeness of the views and the beauty of the place. The house itself is modern, very comfortable, very neat and well-equipped. The kitchen and bathrooms -top class. Enough place for kids to run around- would go back again.
About the host
Hosted by Paul and Susanne Olsen
Your hosts – Introducing Paul and Susanne Kia Ora. Welcome to this beautiful corner of the world.
In a previous life, Paul and Susanne spent 11 years working in the private yacht industry. They travelled the world and catered to all the requirements of the yacht owners and guests. These travels took them to many far-flung corners of the globe, but the lifestyle and beauty of NZ eventually had them heading for land. First of all came the next phase of making a home and raising a family. Although Paul is a New Zealander, Susanne is from Denmark in addition adding a touch of Scandinavian influence.
The providing of stylish accommodation was a natural progression from working in the super yacht industry, hence, Ara Roa began with Te Huia and grew from there. For 17 years now they have shared this amazing piece of NZ with visitors from all over the world, many who return again and again.
Paul and Susanne invite you to come and see for yourself.
