Perfect place to stay
We loved staying here. The extra thoughtful touches like electric blankets on all the beds, bathrobes and TV's in all the bedrooms made it feel like a 5 star hotel. Its a short drive to town and you can walk to the beach in 2 minutes. There was nothing I would fault it on.

We had a lovely and relaxed stay. Was quiet, being off the main road, but an easy stroll to the beach. The house was super clean, and as described (actually, maybe better!). Would definitely be keen to book again, and highly recommend.

Perfect house for 3 couples at Easter
We were lucky enough to spend Easter at this lovely house. Great area, quite quiet location, not on the beach but easily near enough to walk to the beach no problem. Kitchen very well stocked, and whole house lovely and clean and light and bright and welcoming. Very nice private sheltered back deck too. Thanks very much.

Lovely home
This home is in a lovely neighbourhood 5 mins walk from a great beach and about 10 mins drive from town. It's extremely well equipped and obviously designed for entertaining. We thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay. Our hosts were communicative and made the whole process easy.

An oasis.
So pleasant to be in such a well looked after and immaculate house with everythimg that you need, and things you didn't realise you needed. We had a brilliant stay, Bruce and Shirley were thoughtful and understanding hosts. We loved the wonderful deck and garden and seeing Kereru swoop past. The boys loved the garage as a hang out space. Easy access to the beach and great surf too!

Chilled out weekend
Exactly as promised in their promotion. Bruce & Shirley were quick with their communication replies to our questions. The house was lovely, modern and warm.
The pantry is well equipped with a wide range of items. The cupboards well supplied with cutlery and utensils.
Plenty of room for 6 adults. Back deck a great midday and afternoon sun trap. Interesting range of artwork - some for sale. Books and magazines to cater for all tastes. If it had been wet for three days, we would have been quite happy browsing their library. Lovely sandy swimming beach only 5 min walk away. If the occasion arises it would be our first option to re book.
