With a tropical micro climate, Jacquie and Grants Mahia Sanctuary is a perfect location, rain, wind or shine, and we had all. We enjoyed a fabulous weekend catching up with friends, using Commorants Cove as our base, with views out to Gisborne, then not, when the cyclone rolled in. We loved the all weather haven, with it's beautifully renovated kitchen and bathrooms; the private annex was a bonus for a couple to be self sufficient for a slow start in the mornings. Thanks for your hospitality and info on the road closures, with allowance for us to check out later, which was greatly appreciated.
