Ara Station is a special place in a peaceful location and cared for by a lovely and hospitable host. With many treasures from world travels, gorgeous views and comfortable furnishings, the apartment was great for a couple, family or group of friends.
While we only had one night booked in this beautiful place, we felt very welcomed and comfortable. The apartment was spacious and clean, with nice linens and wonderful views. Mary Ann provided a generous and tasty breakfast for us in the morning, and had suggested that we head down to the beach the night before to enjoy the live music. So glad we did! Watching the sun go down over the beach, enjoying the music and food from the local caravan, made for a fantastic end to our NZ holiday.
We only wish we had allocated more time at Mary Ann’s, to be able to explore more of the area. The softest black sand beach with the dunes and lake, as well as the surrounding region are stunning, along with birdsong and lovely sub tropical gardens. We will absolutely recommend this home to friends and family, and look forward to one day returning to this special place. Thank you to our generous host Mary Ann, for such a lovely experience.
