One of the best places we've ever stayed
We've stayed at almost 100 different places in NZ over 13 trips and this one rates near the top. Fabulous view, stunning house, total privacy, excellent support from the property manager. We loved it and hope to return for a longer stay in future.

Beach getaway
Fantastic place to escape to and enjoy the beautiful views across the coast. Waking to the bird song and sound of the ocean was the best start to our day. Sandee, the property manager, could not have been more helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the natural surrounding and views.
A beautiful property, very private and an ideal place to stay and unwind from our typical lives. No wifi service was an excuse to put down the devices and enjoy the native Flora and fauna. Would recommend this spot.
