Stunning Clova Bay Hideaway

What an amazing location to get away from the hustle and bustle and simply relax. Walks along the beach, fishing in the bay where the fish are plentiful and tasted very nice for dinner. I would recommend this location for anyone.

Perfection

This is the second time we have stayed at Manaroa but the first at Hebe House, What a perfect location. Nothing but views of Clova Bay. I just loved the indoors/ outdoor flow of the bi-fold doors. Even on a grey old day you still felt connected to the bay. Comfy, well equipped and oh so relaxing. Wifi good enough for teenager not to feel disconnected. Enjoyed SUPing, fishing and kayaking. Really appreciated Marion's load of an extra paddle when we lost ours.

Leggett family stay.

Would definitely come again. Made to feel very welcome. Slight confusion when we arrived by water taxi. Not met and not sure where go. But the welcome sure made up for it.

Fabulous location for a relaxing vacation

Clean and comfortable cottage with stunning views. Nice quiet location filled with birdsong and natural beauty. Right on the sound so swimming and fishing are right on the doorstep, and lovely walks on the shore or up the hills. For an extra treat, be sure to pick up a copy of Marion Day's book "Passion". We truly enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. We will definitely try to return again someday.

Great bach in a remote bay.

Clean, well equipped and comfortable. Great scenery. Communication with the owner is via bookabach messaging rather than standard email. Internet coverage in the Sounds is very patchy so need to get everything sorted before your travels.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 March 2020
Thank you for your review. Am sorry you found our internet coverage to be patchy as it has always been perfect for other users. Live streaming could be a problem, as mentioned in the 'notes' folder, but apart from that I cannot think why this was so. Hope you had a great stay anyway.

Spotlessly clean

Spotlessly clean. Property was very remote (40 min from Portage ) but for us it was part of its appeal. Loved the native birds and total peace.

Lovely Remote Sounds spot

We loved the old Sounds Farm feel of the place, both the house and location . Our six year olds loved fishing from the wharf and looking for crabs on the mudflats. Very tidy property
