Well, hard to know where to start with this review; it's one of those places that you don't want to rave about too much as I'd rather it stayed a secret!
I absolutely adored this AirBnB; the location was just breathtaking and the special place that Debra and Mike have created in the middle of nowhere is just amazing. Waterfall Cottage is far larger than I expected; spotlessly clean and with views to die for, whether you're looking across the bay or out the back to the bush up the side of the bay. The cicadas are deafening but don't quite drown out the sound of the wee waterfall running down the hillside.
Just the two of us stayed but the place is brilliantly kitted out for the large number of guests that the bedding allows for; the kitchen is so well supplied with ample crockery and cutlery and 2 fridge freezers (one a huge double door). The bathroom is a genius design for groups; 2 sinks, 2 loos & 2 showers while maintaining privacy for everyone.
The rest of the property is just gorgeous; we didn't use the spa or the games-room but they looked fab.
Phone coverage was dodgy for us (Vodafone) at the house; pretty intermittent, not that we cared. I got better coverage at the end of the wee jetty, enough to get data and when we headed out on the boat we got 4G pretty quickly.
We arrived at the bay by boat, which on a v blustery day at low tide, made for interesting manoeuvres getting our stuff from the boat to the jetty. It took us about 70 minutes from Havelock in rough conditions and about an hour in calm ones to get back. We can't comment on the road in.
Debra was away when we stayed but communication with her beforehand was easy; we met Mike who was lovely and showed us the rest of the accommodation available on site. Just a stunning set-up! Thanks guys :o)
