    The owner was lovely and friendly Kids could run free and they had a blast. There was a pool but the water was a bit green mind you we were going into autumn. I had to laugh, my son and hubby are 6 feet tall and they didn't fit in the bunks their legs hung over.

    The double glazed panorama window created peaceful and relaxing ambiance. The decor was classy and stylish and clearly reflected the care and dedication by the owners to please. This was so 5 star. This rates as one of my top stays and other visitors who dropped in all rated it highly. Great touch with the LED lights in the cabinet. Woohoo.

    Gorgeous interior styling, a very special place to stay, and perfect for a weekend away. Lovely friendly hosts who went out of their way to make it comfortable for us, it was so appreciated! Situated in a nice quiet location with a peaceful beach outlook. Short walk to various eateries, beach and penguins. Will definitely stay again :)

    The perfect getaway - warm welcome to a beautiful space that's private but close to town and shops. Gorgeous location, and the unique design, high ceilings, stained glass windows and skylights made for a lovely stay. Mel and Greg couldn't have been more attentive, even going to the shop to suit our allergy needs on short notice. Hosts were also super generous with tips on where to eat/drink and places to see nearby. Wouldn't hesitate to book again and felt like we made friends in the process. A+

    A truly lovely place, that is stylishly designed. Has all the modern facilities you would want but still leaving a touch of NZ history. The beds were amazing and being able to have a fire was an extra special treat. It had such a lovely welcoming feeling. Wish we could have stayed longer!
