Holiday rentals near Mahakipawa Arm

It was great to get away with our blind dog in a dog friendly property with a fabulous view. We so enjoyed waiting and watching for the ferry's and trains. We also loved Mills Bay Mussels and a few wineries. Stocked up on wine. Loved the natural nature of the area.

What a beautiful home for our family weekend away! Beautifully presented with lots of interesting art to stir the soul! Clean tidy and well equipped with everything you could need. Gaylene was a fantastic host-super accomodating and really responsive! Thank you Gaylene! Location is wonderful, with lovely tracks very close by! Perfect place to stay!

We absolutely loved our stay in Paradise Bay. The land cloaked in fern forest and stunning log cabin is so magical and nourishing. Thank you for sharing your special spot with us.

This property is so well appointed. Hosts are very accommodating, everything too easy. Beautiful views. Comfortable. Fantastic place for a group. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely well appointed property which suited our needs perfectly. Sarah was wonderful to interact with and also very supportive about our dog who also enjoyed her stay, in part because of Sarah’s beautiful dog Nix. I highly recommend.

Property was excellent - comfortable, luxurious, and well-equipped. Awesome views from the balcony. It is ideal for chilling out or meditating.

We were a family of three adults and one 16 year old. I can't say enough wonderful things about the apartment, and Kirsty was quick to respond with any questions. The apartment is large, with sweeping views of the harbor. The kitchen was fully stocked with all implements you might need. The stove and oven are induction. Fortunately my daughter has one in her home, so we were familiar with its use. The bathrooms and kitchen were spacious and updated. Beds very comfortable. Honestly, I can't think of any drawbacks. Thank you for offering your lovely home. Karen and Gordon

Everything about this property makes you feel calm and relaxed. A perfect spot for a getaway. The views are amazing, it is warm & cosy & has a lovely indoor/outdoor flow. Then to top it off....a fabulous spa pool to unwind in. The communication from our host Brad was exceptional. We will certainly be recommending Firkin's Retreat to friends & family.
