Beautiful well thought out space. Can’t say enough about our suit and the owners. The location is right on the water with easy walking access to the beach and hiking trails. Our hosts Sandra and Doc were very accommodating and made us feel at home. The suit was like new fitted with high end modern appointments. The breakfast that they provided was just what we needed. Had we known how nice this place was we would have scheduled this in our plans for a few more days.

Beyond all our expectations

I have never given a 10/10 review, but this was an 11. Doc and Sandra have gone to extraordinary lengths to make this an exceptional experience, and have succeeded spectacularly. Incredible location and views are just the beginning; ultimate luxury in the fittings and furniture, and truly excellent food. Go for the best coffee in NZ, go for the japanese style toilet, or go for the most amazing glass wall view - but go.
