About the host

Hosted by Matthew Nutter

Host profile image
We are a couple of Kiwi's who are new to hosting.
We enjoy meeting people from all around the world, sharing our little slice of paradise with others.

Why they chose this property

We settled on this location in 2012 because of the proximity to the beach, and the quietness of the community.
As an added bonus the fishing in the area has been another drawcard.
And in the evenings it is relaxing to walk the beach and take in the ambience.

What makes this property unique

To get to the entry you will walk along a bushy path to reach the yard where you can chill, enjoying the surroundings, listening to Tui and other birds that frequent the area.
