This is a real five star stay for a special holiday. The property is architecturally impressive with an impressive contemporary minimalist styling matched only by the mod cons. The view from the balcony is nothing short of breath taking, particularly at sunset when you will be serenaded by the local birds which were plentiful and varied.; Tui, Kereru, pheasants and colourful parakeets. In the morning you can hear the calming sounds of waves lapping against the shore which became too much of a temptation for us Christmas morning when we went for an early morning swim and followed it up with an oyster breakfast which we procured from the local farm. During the day you are spoilt for beaches which is where we spent most of our days, make sure you get down early as the car park can get busy. Once home we could use the outside shower to wash the sand off both adults and kids which was really handy. Loved all the little details of the house such as the smart positioning to the sun and the constellations in the ceiling. The only area we felt could have been improved was the privacy if the bathrooms, some two way glass would be ideal in the shower, toilet and bathroom as the neighbours were home most days and we didn't feel adventurous enough to bare all even after a few drinks. It is certainly up there in terms of pricing so I would recommend booking as a group to share the cost but definitely one of the best Air BnBs we've done in NZ.
