We couldn't recommend a stay at the Garden Studio @ Sunset Beach more highly! Maile was so helpful & friendly throughout the entire process from booking right through until we departed. The studio is in a perfect location just a few minutes walk from stunning North Shore beaches. You walk out of the doors to the studio into the backyard & the sun shines down on you with the beautiful mountains as the backdrop. There is a bike, surfboard & snorkel gear ready to borrow at anytime that you feel like getting out & about and you have your own private access down the side of the main house so you can come and go as you please without feeling like you are bothering anyone. Maile and her husband (and adorable young kids & dog) were extremely friendly and ready to answer any questions that we had, however gave us our own space to enjoy our holiday at our pace. The studio was perfect with everything we needed (even some tasty treats waiting for us on our arrival) plus an air con unit & two fans which was a real treat. We can't wait for our next adventure to the North Shore so we can stay here again!
