Great spot to explore the Bays

Quirky, funky little place with great views. Easy drive around the bays & access to Wellington via the ferry. Tricky driveway with a large vehicle, but otherwise great little pad.

Relaxing Hen’s Weekend

Beautiful spot with a beautiful view. Appreciated the little touches with milk, butter etc. It saved us having to find a supermarket for a cuppa when we arrived. Gill and her husband live next door so handy if we needed anything. The stairs to the upstairs bedroom are tricky, and despite Gill communicating that they were tricky to navigate, maybe letting people know that the width to get up them was about 30-40cm maybe? Child bearing hips made it a little tight for us mums to get up there! Overall was a lovely place to stay and I would love to come back with Hubby in the near future

Sweet Sorrento

It's love at first sight with this quirky property! Views for days and sun streams in which makes this the ideal getaway. Hosts very welcoming and breakfast supplies hit the spot. Only thing to note other than the steep drive (low gear a must!) is the narrow staircase to the upstairs bedroom - if you're blessed with being bodacious then getting up to the room will induce much laughter as contortion is required, the bedroom on the level below is more suitable in this case 😊 Overall, top notch stay!

Wonderful Wellington weekend.

Very pleasant and comfortable stay. Great location and views. Tricky access but worth it for the seclusion and outlook. Would definitely love to stay again.

Interesting property with an amazing outlook

The hosts were very friendly and helpful . The property was definitely a lovely retreat! It was well stocked with everything you would need with some personal touches . It felt like we were holidaying on a Greek Island.
