The Space:
Welcome to Vista al Mar, this newly built, design-forward holiday home has showstopping views over Golden Bay.

Large sliding doors open to a sun-drenched deck, perfect for BBQs and evening drinks. The main house sleeps four across two bedrooms (one with zip-link beds for flexible arrangements). Need more space? A separate sleepout with a king bed is available for extra guests above 4 pax — great for friends, grandparents, or teens wanting extra privacy. Guests are welcome to bring their own linen. If you'd prefer to do so, just let us know and we’ll refund any automatic linen hire fees that may have been applied.
