A place of peace and tranquillity offering the best of two worlds - a haven to chill and enjoy nature and great views; and as a base to explore the area, especially Tawharanui Regional Park. Little light pollution meant we were able to enjoy star viewing at night (clouds permitting).

Most generous hosts, Katherine & John created a luxurious hide-away between the beautiful native bush and the majestic ocean. Loved the outside bath, exceptional breakfast (incl salmon!), views to all side, comfy bed and everything else.

absolutely nothing!

Amazing hosts, amazing facilities and fabulous time.

Weather but still had a bubble bath in the rain!

Perfect breakfast left in our cottage that was adequate for the 3 days: artisan bread, gravlax preserves & healthy muesli & blue berries. We appreciated the absolute peace and quiet and the serene views out to see and bush. We appreciated being left alone to enjoy the private accommodation well away from the owners house. Our beach visits to Tawharanui park each afternoon a highlight.

Nothing not to like

beautiful tranquil property, stunning views, lovely furnishings, comfy bed and the added touch of delicious local ingredients for the continental breakfast

Loved it👌 our host’s Katherine and John were charming. it is a beautiful property. Despite the rain during most of our stay it was a very serene place to unplug and unwind in extremely peaceful surroundings. The brekkie provisions were great too!

Nothing to not like 🙂

Everything, amazing spot with a jaw dropping view. Superb hosts with an exceptional breakfast. Have a glass of bubbles, sit in the bathtub and enjoy the sounds of native birds......so relaxing

Nothing

We really enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were there, but ensured our privacy and enjoyment. The views and location are exceptional, immersed in nature; Bell Bird, Kaka, lovely gardens and bush. Our breakfast was well provided, with high quality and tasty fare. Katherine and John have a real gem, particularly the captivating views and surroundings, not to mention the outside bath, stars and nearly the best seat in the house to relax, view the bush and contemplate the day ahead.

Leaving.

John & Katherine surprised us with fresh bread, salmon, cream cheese and a host of other goodies for a wholesome and moreish breakfast (which turned out to be supper) spread. They put an incredible amount of effort into the detail and the space itself is perfect for a couple looking to break away. The outside bath? Heaven. The gardens, beautiful. The hospitality, excellent. Highly recommended.

Nothing.

The location was excellent. Handy to the wedding venue. Quiet, peaceful, relaxing and private. Loved the scenery, gardens and the outdoor bathtub. Tasteful decor, interesting art and delicious snacks! 5 star accommodation and considerate hosts.

Additional sofas or oversized armchairs would suit the place and a larger fridge would be convenient.

The location was stunning, the place amazing and the owners were so lovely

Nothing :)

everything is so well thought of with this property! it’s definitely a relaxing and wonderful place to stay. the hosts were so lovely and the place clean, tidy, comfortable and had everything we needed and more.

Secluded, with amazing views and birdsong. Comfy & warm - even in winter, with everything I needed. The hosts are also amazing, and happy to help out with any questions. My favourite spot.

It was secluded and had a beautiful view of the sea. So quiet except for the birdsong. Close to the Tawharanui wildlife reserve with lovely walks. Seeing the stars at night and the Ruru flying about will be something we will remember.

Minor suggestion, a blue tooth speaker/stereo would have been handy and I forgot to take one.

Breakfast was lovely, location was beautiful and interesting, a lovely spot for relaxing.

Property has fantastic views and has many walks, restaurants and outdoor art venues within 20 minutes drive. Luxury breakfast ingredients were provided for us.

Bed was comfortable and lovely sheets and pillows and blankets. Breakfast provided was perfect and met our dietary needs too, loved everything that made it feel so special

We were happy

All the little extra touches made it special
