We stayed in a beautiful two bedroom apartment which had a fantastic modern kitchen with everything we needed to cook a nice meal. The high ceilings and gas fire made the living room a really lovely place to sit and have a wine and read when it was raining outside. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space in the apartment. There was also a lovely outdoor eating area which I think would be great in warmer weather.

We enjoyed being there so much we asked if we could extend our stay. Sadly, they were booked so we were unable to. However, due to how much we enjoyed our time there, we are hoping to come back next year and stay again. The cottage is so comfortable that we cancelled our dinner reservations and grabbed food at the local grocery and ate in both nights. With the ocean on one side, mtns on the other, why would you want to be anywhere else? Extremely well equipped with everything you could need. Comfortable, relaxing, and beautiful setting all rolled up in one. Thank you for all the special touches included in your cottage. Our favorite place in NZ so far.

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!
