Lovely view

The house has a wonderful view over the Mahakipawa Arm. We spent three beautiful nights there. When we arrived, there were a few issues with cleanliness which I shared with the property manager. It's a lovely, albeit basic space. We were a party of three, and we cooked every night. Kitchen items were limited, just enough to accomodate basic meals for our small group. If I was in a larger party or staying for a longer period of time I would prefer a more equipped kitchen. The lighting in the space is also quite dim, but we got used to it. We walked down to the water immediately in front of the house. It's described as a beach, but it appeared to be more of an estuary type environment. I'm not sure about swimming there... however there are plenty of accessible swimming bays close by. We enjoyed our stay and were lucky enough to experience a magical thunder/lightning storm on our final night. It was truly spectacular...

Great Stay with kids

Lovely property with a beautiful view and comfy beds! Steep drive and access with plenty of steps, which can make it a bit of a challenge. Also, pack your mozzy spray! ; ) Would highly recommend to anyone!

Superb property and location

Great accommodation and view, very clean and peaceful, with all amenities. Would stay here again. The only negative was very steep driveway, so if have mobility problems, this would be an issue.
