We were made very welcome at the Retreat right from the very first moment to the last, and we would love to go back. The cabin was spacious, clean, and had everything we could possibly need, but the highlight was really the fantastic view over the bay towards Paihia. We only had two nights there, and we spent a lot of that time on the balcony, me with my sketchbook and watercolours. The view was just as good from the main bedroom and loungeroom, but on the balcony it felt like we were right in the middle of it all, with total privacy, and as if the bay belonged to us alone :) Really, we couldn't recommend it enough.
