Beautiful apartment (we had nr1) literally looking at the beach from the livingroom and kitchen area. When you cross the street you are at the beach. Wonderful view of the ocean, when you are having breakfast on the terrace or with the glass sliding doors open in the livingroom. Everything was very clean, modern and had everything you can possibly need there. it felt great to spend a couple of days around Christmas there and we felt very spoiled.

Perfect spot just close enough to town - but not too close. And near the lovely coastal walk. Very comfortable room. Charming staff to greet you. A lovely spot. I'd stay here again for sure.

The View! You can not tire from the beautiful outlook form the balcony. Seeing the mountain range plunging into the ocean is remarcable. A bonus was being able to see the village below and its goings on.

This was one of the nicest accommodation that we stayed at for our holiday in New Zealand. The unit was large, spacious, clean, thoughtfully designed and came with everything that you would need. Great experience feeding the alpacas and sheep as they would literally come bounding towards you with joy! Owner was friendly as well. Would definitely recommend!

This accommodation was amazing! Fantastic friendly host and the room was beautiful. Brilliantly styled to feel like we were holidaying somewhere in the islands. The garden and plants were beautiful and although the rooms are close together it felt very private. We loved the extra touches like the flowers on the towels on arrival. We would highly recommend staying here and would definitely not hesitate to return!
