Wow! This property is amazing and as others have said even better than the stunning photos. We have never stayed anywhere so well equipped and the quality of everything is high class.
We liked that it was just out of the main town, only a short easy walk away, as it was quieter.
There is a beach, which is perfect for swimming straight opposite and the deck provides perfect views over the bay. We enjoyed breakfast, drinks and evening BBQs out there.
The welcome pack was exceptional and meant we didn’t need to immediately do a shop for breakfast on the first day. There is a large countdown supermarket just 5mins away in the car towards Whaitangi.
As a tourist from the UK Mary made all communication easy. We were able to enjoy a mix of relaxing and exploring. Russell is handy for a day trip and the Whaitangi Treaty grounds a 15 min walk. The Stone Store & Kemp House at Kerikeri was also a good short drive away, past a lovely waterfall. We could easily have stayed another 5 days!
We were two couples, one with a baby (and the studio was ideal for them) and myself. We had plenty of room to eat and sit together but also space to not feel on top of each other two.
Worth every penny and a great start to our New Zealand adventure. We’d be back in a flash if we could!
