Maryanne can only be described as a thoughtful and communicative host. When I first booked she told me we were to be the first guests to stay in ArtHouse 2 and you could tell she was both passionate and excited about the new addition to the ArtHouse family.

ArtHouse 2 was finished just before we arrived and we were not disappointed - we were impressed from the moment we walked in the door. The accommodation has a lovely modern coastal feel and is fun, inviting and comfortable all at once. Everything had been thought of with all new appliances, beach towels, great linen and we loved the art pieces and lighting scattered throughout (a nod to the ArtHouse's history). It's the perfect retreat for a weekend getaway with your partner. And we loved the small details such as the milk, tea, coffee and snacks waiting there for hungry, tired travellers!

Our cabin provided a fantastic view of the beach in a quiet location. Right next door is a lovely restaurant which serves great coffee or walk up the road for some of the best Mexican we've ever had (don't say no to the home made corn chips - they are delicious). I can also recommend a walk along the coast where you will come face to face with the local kangas and see some spectacular coastal scenery.

Maryanne left us up to our own devices once we had arrived however she was only a phone call away if we needed her. Well done to Maryanne and her team - we can't wait to come back and recommend highly!
