Marie’s place is in a wonderful location with tranquil native bush surroundings and stunning views across the water. The outside decking and tables make for peaceful, relaxed dining for the whole family. Bedrooms and bed selection is great, Linen was clean, comfortable and warm. 2 x bathrooms a major plus and plenty of towels and facecloths made our stay very comfortable. Looking out through the living room windows across the water, next to the lit fire, drink of choice in hand was a pleasure.
We had 7 guests in our stay - Myself, my mother, my sister and her two daughters, my cousin and her daughter. We ended up splitting the rooms as follows- my cousin and I in the Queen & single room (1 each bed), my sister and one of her daughters in the queen bed, 2 cousins in 2 of the 4 bunk beds and my mother on a couch (she was desperate to sleep under the stars on her 60th birthday after she saw how bright they were through the living room window in the dark).
I say all that to say this - this place is great for a family and could easily sleep 10-11 people.
I would love to stay here again and this place suited me perfectly. Love the coffee mugs and will search nood to see if I can find the same ones. We were serenaded by Tui the whole time we were there and the magnificent sound of Kereru flying around us.
Marie is a great communicator through and through.
Highly recommend.
