Our family enjoyed our stay at this house, especially the ocean views. We appreciated the responsiveness of the hosts. Upon check in, we noticed the kitchen floor needed a sweeping due to some crumbs, but once we took care of that we were comfortable. Our kids really enjoyed all of the childrenâs books and toys provided. It is a very short walk to the coast and a friendly restaurant, The Beach House and Kiosk, which has fantastic breakfast. As a family with young children, we also enjoyed the nearby playgrounds.
A cosy house with an exceptional view of the south coast of Te Whanganui a Tara looking directly at Te Waipounamu. We especially enjoyed the big bath and the fireplace that warms the entire house..
We stayed for a few nights here and it was wonderful! It had the most amenities of any place we stayed and a perfect view. Got to watch dolphins chase fish into the harbor, we saw the south island one day, and beautiful sunsets over the mountains.
I hesitate to spread the word about this place too far, because I kind of want to keep it to myself. We stayed for 19 days, and every day woke up rubbing our eyes to be in such a magical location: high enough for a spectacular view without traffic noise, but low enough to hear the surf and have a brief stroll to the beach. And the hosts were such a blast to meet. Probably our best family vacation ever.
Photos do not do this place justice. The views from all 4 corners are expansive and extraordinary.The house itself is open and airy, also cosy around the wood burner if a southerly hits. Other nice touches include quality linen, comfortable furnishings and a plentiful supply of firewood. Cannot recommend highly enough.
We only had a short time here. We loved the layout of the house. There was a live Christmas tree up in living room that smelled wonderful. But that view was just so beautiful. Thank you
This holiday home is wonderful. It has an amazing view. The house is well presented with newly renovated kitchen and bathroom. We had a great week in Wellington and this house enabled us to retreat from the city and relax.
It was clean and tidy and even had bread, milk, eggs and banans in the fridge on arrival.
