Rachael and Patrick were generous hosts and great to deal with. The place fully deserves the highest rating possible, and has that intangible x-factor.
The ideal venue for us to work and relax in the most stunning of locations. Piha, and the whole west coast, is ruggedly beautiful and at times can be a bit wild; this home is a safe-haven in all weathers. Even with the wind and rain lashing; the house is comfortable, warm, and safe. Of course when the sun shines it’s the perfect platform to lounge and explore from. Nature at the doorstep.
Wifi is good, appliances aplenty, and there are thoughtful touches like automatic lighting and instant hot water. Albeit one should be mindful that the property is supplied by filtered rainwater from in-ground tanks, and responsible usage is required.
Rachael has created something special here - modern design with timeless charm - and we can’t wait to stay again.
