Thank you for being such great guests Responsive, respectful of property with good communication.
Great for a couples runaway. I especially liked running for an hour on the golf course. The wake we attended was very well catered so being able to run on golf course was welcome.

Completely self contained with all amenities. Very comfortable and cosy. In a rural area but very close to a shopping centre; golf club if you play and a city not far.
The hosts were excellent and very hospitable to say the least. The unit was absolutely superb with every detail thought of. It was lovely and clean and very comfortable. Pool and surrounding area was very inviting. We would highly recommendthis property.

Lovely couple who were respectful with good communication and courteous. Recommend 🌸
Carol and Rex were excellent hosts. They helped when needed but otherwise gave us our privacy. The unit was exceptional. Clean, large king bed, large bathroom w/ separate tub and shower - great water pressure! Lovely living/ sitting area and they even made their outdoor available to us. We hope to return again in 2025 for another month. Thank you Carol and Rex!
Kia Ora until we meet again..

A special place indeed. Carol had put out hot cross buns with butter and lovely toppings. Pool was gorgeous.
Better for 2 persons who share the delectable bed. Tuscany throughout. Massive bathroom. Small kitchenette with the laundary. Everything there.
