When we walked into this property, our jaws hit the floor. Our view was amazing and we will definitely be returning when we are back in NZ for at least 3 or 4 days. Such comfortable and relaxed accommodation we would be happy to just spend time at the accommodation all day! We spent most of our time out on the 2 balconies just sitting listening to the birds, the water and waving to people passing in an out of the Marina (the boats were very quiet and did not disturb us at all). Was close to everything we needed but also a little bit out of the way for a beautiful serine feeling. Check in was seamless, very easy and car park was close to our room. Beds were incredibly comfortable. We met the owners who were on site doing some things around the property, they were lovely and very helpful 😊

The kitchen was fully equipped with small oven, two burners, microwave, and numerous plates. The full size refrigerator had butter, milk, OJ and bread for toast. There is a laundry room with washer and dryer and soap that we used for no charge. The hostess goes out of her way to supply guests with everything they might need.
