Best stay of our trip
This property was by far the best place we stayed in our trip to New Zealand! As soon as we walked in we fell in love with everything about it. It is very well appointed. We had planned to eat out but decided to get takeout so we could eat in the room. Thanks for the home made buns and bread!

Host was lovely, and thoughtful home baking awaited us! Perfect little getaway. Would not recommend for little kids due to unsafe mezzanine sleeping… our 7 and 9 Y ended up on the couch.

Great studio tiny house
Beautifully appointed, great place to unwind, was lovely to not have TV; instead we played board games, read, and of course went out. Thank you for the lovely treats too! Only thing I would say is it would be nice to have a full length mirror (vain I know!)

A beautiful cottage, it felt like a real treat. With lovely touches from your host Litza. Just a short drive to town, the beach, and easy to find. I'll be back and recommending to all my friends.
