My fiancè and I decided to spend my birthday weekend at The Gatehouse after reading many positive reviews about the space and Bernadette. We are very happy we did! The little holiday home is very tidy, well kept and cozy, everything as advertised and as positive as the reviews we read. Unfortunately for us, the weather wasn't great, so we only managed a brisk walk along the beach on arrival, but we could imagine how beautiful the surrounding neighbourhood and walks would be, had the weather been a bit more favourable. Fortunately, The Gatehouse made up for the weather and we were able to enjoy ourselves fine. Bernadette wasn't around the weekend we stayed, but the replacement host was very gracious and approachable, at no moment did we feel we couldn't pop by and see them had we needed to. From our experience I'd highly recommend The Gatehouse to anyone looking for nice, quiet, comfortable and private get away, even if you only came from Wellington, like us.
