Clare is a natural host and I now consider her a friend. She welcomed me warmly and made me feel immediately comfy which I needed after being displaced from my home after the weather event in Auckland. But she also offered privacy and never encroached on my space. The cabin is absolutely delightful with a glorious comfy bed, fantastic shower with great pressure, and tasteful/delightful and very subtle extras. The cabin is designed to resemble a cosy modern caravan with windows that open onto a glorious private garden. The location is fantastic. Italian pizza, French patisserie and organic wine shop all a stroll away. As is the beach. Home is very important to me and Clare and her whanau made me feel like I belonged. I can’t rate this place highly enough. A perfect oasis. Thank you Clare!
