Epic spot and great hospitality from Tony. We wanted the smallest distance between us and the beach and this place delivered. It’s only a few steps to Coopers Beach with its golden sand and old Pohutukawa trees. It’s also within walking distance (via beach) to coffee and the shops. Next to the studio is a cute little walkway with thriving flowers and butterflies. And Tony has all sorts of toys to keep us entertained like kayaks, a spa, and fishing gear (the kahawai are plenty). The water is great for swimming and if you turn right on the beach, you’ll find wood swings dangling from the trees. Sunsets and sunrises are magical… we spent a lot of time sitting on the studio’s deck, taking in the view. The big windows meant you can even see the beach from the comfy bed. It was fantastic, wish we could’ve stayed longer.
