Relaxing stay in the sounds
We had a wonderful stay in the sounds. Jason and Cheryl were great with communicating and accommodating our needs. Their home was spacious, warm and clean and there were plenty of nearby activities to keep us busy, such as fishing, hiking and canoeing. We would love to stay again and bring our boat on the next trip. Many thanks, Courtney & James

5 nights of tranquility
The house is perfect, has everything you need, stunning views and we enjoyed hiking up the summit. Having the private beach to ourselves was awesome. A lovely place to spend time as a family and away from civilisation.

Stunning location on kenepuru sound. Short walk to the property's private beach and a great walking track on the property itself. Spacious and modern with all the comforts of home. Thanks so much for a great stay
