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.

Amazing property overlooking/right opposite the beach. Room was very clean and classy. Hosts were extremely lovely and friendly. Patrick gave a great suggestion for a restaurant and we were not disappointed. A lovely home made breakfast to finish off.

Amazing place to stay, loved the architecture of the house, the layout, very fresh and clean, spotless, well equipped kitchen, fun to cook in and to stay in this beautiful place, with the nice garden. The ocean view is unbearable. Can highly recommend this place. Kids can run around freely, there is chickens to collect fresh eggs in the morning.

The location was fabulous-right on the beach with fabulous views all around. Reception staff were courteous and helpful. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean and the bathroom was especially nice.

Stunning location - right on the beachfront with an amazing view to wake up to! We booked a suite for our 1 night which was massive and very well equipped. Breakfast was very nice but there were a small number of waiting staff so took a bit of time.
