Mary Anne was very welcoming and communications leading up to the stay were great. It is a gorgeous environment, just like the photos, surrounded by trees, elevated views and super peaceful and down to earth. It was cosy and perfect for the three of us. We walked to the beach from the house and along the beach which was just stunning. Highly recommend this as a retreat if you need some quiet space, or a neutral place to catch up with a friends. Comfy beds and a treat to be served breakfast in the morning. It was a treat to see Kereru flying through the bush!
