Wedding Stay

We stayed here the night before to get ready for our wedding and the night of wedding to come back too. We were so impressed from when we first walked into the house, it is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed in it. It was awesome to get ready there plenty of room and lots of showers to choose from. We even ended up taking our photos around the house instead of Rabbit Island cause it was to wet and windy to go there. There were plenty of places around the house perfect for photos. Great to come back there too and lovely and cosy with the fire going, had amazing sleeps in the lovely comfortable beds.

Family gathering made perfect

We had the best week staying here with a large group of extended family. The hosts were very helpful in the planning stages, working with me to make sure the property was right for our needs. Everything exceeded our expectations - the huts are just so gorgeous and perfect for many of our teenage guests. The shared kitchen and living facilities at the huts were just so quaint and comfortable. The outdoor baths were a hit as was the outdoor fire. The large house meant we could gather comfortably together. The location was brilliant - nice and close to Mapua, close to supermarkets, great walk to Rabbit Island. We just loved everything!!!
