We were very pleased with our stay at Tanique's studio and spa. It is clear that extra care has been taken with details such as cleanliness and guest comfort. She kindly left us sunscreen and bug spray. The kitchen is well-equipped for simple meal prep with the microwave and toaster oven. We were happy to find salt and pepper grinders and olive oil, as well as the usual coffee, tea, and milk.
The spa is private, clean, and works well. It is especially nice for sore muscles after a hike!
Her place is less than one minute walk from the bus stop and 10 minutes walk from the beach. The nature trail that runs the perimeter of the island (Te Ara Hura) goes right by the front of the house. It is also noteworthy that once on the trail, there are a few side trails that lead you to local wineries. We found out quickly that reservations are necessary at most of the wineries. Also, they are only open during the daytime for lunch. It is rare, even in summertime, to find a place that serves dinner.
We didn't try the EcoZip line, but it is also a short 25 minute walk from the house.
Of note, the apartment is next door to the family home, so it is not entirely isolated from the noises and goings on of the family.
In all, we had a positive experience and would heartily recommend Tanique's studio and spa to other travelers.
