My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Five Pendrall, Piha recently.
We had great communication with the owner prior to our arrival which helped us to prepare in advance. We arrived during the afternoon and had sensational views from the front balcony of the property whilst we observed the sunset.
The house feels like the perfect blend of contemporary, cosy and natural with beautiful architecture.
The property is set back with a wonderful view of the water, and completely surrounded by trees and greenery. It felt tranquil and serene, and we were happily secluded with all of the modern conveniences that we needed.
There was a short guidebook on the local area and how to use the appliances (dishwasher, oven, hob), tv, fireplace, and everything you need to prepare a meal.
The hot tub was delightful, especially enjoyed during the evening amongst nature, with additional towels provided by the owner.
We would love to return someday and would recommend staying as a couple, small family, or group!
