So. I think Cassie and Shaun must have found a way to make some kind of tiny alternate universe that’s equal parts love nest, NZ elegance, wild, peace and cosy. It’s hard describe, but you’ll feel it the moment you’re lucky enough to walk along the Little Church Bay boardwalk.
While I wasn’t able to spend a few days here as planned with my partner due to Covid related dramas, Cassie was super flexible about the schedule change, and check in with both her and Shaun (and the dog) was super easy and relaxed. I unfortunately didn’t manage to meet Cassie in person, but had some lovely lawn chats with Shaun. Comms with both of them were equal parts welcoming, genuine and straight forward.
The house itself is beautifully and thoughtfully built and appointed, and you have an incredible amount of privacy despite being in a really central location. Apart from multiple perfectly positioned views, as a crockery and linen nerd, the inside of Little Church Bay really is glorious. There’s plenty of art to get lost in too, if you need a break from admiring the sea and light.
Everything was immaculately clean, and the bed and pillows were dreamily comfortable (firm but cloudy!).
Despite not being able to share it, it really was one of the best stays I’ve had. Thanks so much for sharing such a beautiful spot with the world!
