"Lovely accommodating host. Provided fresh free range eggs and fruits from the property, and welcomed us to help ourselves to fruits/ veges from the garden and eggs from the chickens.Spa pool wasn't available while we were there, possibly due to the recent adverse weather conditions. Spacious home, possibly mid-reno in places so there's a mix of older and newer features - needed a little fiddling with the older shower to achieve a comfortable water temp.Plenty of space for 13 of us, kids loved...

Only 40 metres to the beach!

Only 40 metres to the beach!

8/10 Good
"What an amazing stay we had - how spoilt we were to have the beautiful beach only a short stroll from the backyard (perfect for the tamariki). Well equipped, comfy beds and all round cosy home. The inside of the home was extremely clean and tidy, however, the outside needs some TLC. Cobwebs filled the outside windows and the place could have done with some weeding/pruning/tidying of the green areas (I'm being picky here!). Overall, we LOVED our stay and would book again."
