What a tranquil setting with everything you need.
Jacqui and David were the perfect hosts from communication and no issues with a late check-in, giving us all the little hints and tips to make the most of out of our stay and the area and making themselves available for any queries yet at the same time giving complete space.
The pictures do not do this place justice with a rustic studio type setting, straw type matting on the floor, bedroom doors opening to a breathtaking waterfront view and separate modern bathroom, spacious balcony with full barbecue and accessories.
With the red torches provided we went Kiwi bird hunting whilst trekking over a small hill to a romantic deserted pebble stone beach at night with a full moon.. it was like the set of a movie it was so beautiful!
It was only a small drive to neighbouring areas of Paihia and Russell where we went Paragliding, experienced the traditional Maori Hangi (Feast cooked in the ground) and Duke of Marlborough Hotel for one of the best lunches we had in NZ which our hosts recommended to us.
To top it off Jacqui and David provided beautiful local teas and breakfast ingredients so we were not hungry as we went out for the day on our adventures.
Could not recommend their accommodation more, it was such a pleasure to stay there.
