STRESS FREE RELAXATION

This was an emaculate place to stay, with more tham ample room to accommodate everyone. A real home away from home with everything you could possibly need. The Host Sarah was an absolute gem of a person to deal with and was so caring and compassionate about are personal family situation. Would highly recommend staying here and if we ever have the opportunity to visit this area again we would 100% book in again to stay here. Thank you so much Sarah for having your beautiful place available in our stressful time of need and turning our Holiday into a stressfree relaxing experience. If we could give you more than a five star top rating we certainly would. Thank you thank you thank you

Home away from home

Sarah is a very helpful and communicative host. She is very accomodative as well. She handed us all the toys that our children might enjoy during our stay. It is truly home away from home. Thank you!

My family had a lovely stay at Sarah and Greg’s place. They were very accommodating and friendly.

Home from Home

A great place to stay on the Kapiti coast, if you want to feel like our in a home, and not in just in some "accommodation". House was very clean, and tidy, and had everything that we needed as a family with two teenage girls. Central for all that the Kapiti coast has to offer.........
