If we could give 6 stars for the surrounding landscape we would definitely do that. It is stunning to sit on the deck or in the spa taking in the rolling green hills and the sea in the background. The openness of the space is a great feature and the home is really furnished to meet the high standards of the exterior. To manage your rubbish on leaving is a bit of a bummer for such a place and the fact that you have to bring your own sheets and towels (or pay for them renting them), but besides from that we really enjoyed the amenities of the place and the spacious and airy living. We highly recommend to drop by the lovely chocolate factory in Mangawhei (they offer a great breakfast and the place is totally mediterranean) and the Dune restaurant or the Pizza Barn in Waipu for a really nice experience!
