Absolutely Excellent

My wife and I are both very impressed with our stay at Ao Marama. Incredible hosts, fantastic environment and stunning scenery. We couldn't have asked for a better place to have spent the weekend, the facilities were very clean and very nice. The communal outdoor kitchen is such an awesome idea. we will most definitely be back soon.

Bliss

We stayed at Ao Marama for our honeymoon and found true relaxation in this beautiful setting. Duan and Elizabeth were so welcoming and helpful. Make sure you sit out on the sun deck and ask for a morning coffee - seriously good brew! Would recommend to anyone!

Wondering? But overall very good

We wondered if the sheets were clean and then we found a contact lens - not ours - in our bed which implied the sheets were not fresh and clean. Otherwise the overall impression was great.

Hi Jan It was great to have you, Peter and your dog come and stay with us. I'd like to reassure you ever guest has clean sheets - one explanation was that it was already attached to the duvet when the bed was made. Apologises though and we would have been happy to provide you with additional clean sheets if we'd been made aware of the find at the time. Be lovely to have you to stay again. Best Elizabeth and Duan

A Peaceful Paradise

This was a far too short stay. You wake up to the songs of tuis and grry warblers and look out over a blissful view I loved the off the grid experience with none of the basics lacking. Elizabeth and Duan are fabulous hosts and I can't wait to return.😁

Ruhe pur am Meer

Die Hütte liegt direkt oberhalb des Meeres mit wunderbarem Ausblick, sogar in der Outdoorküche. Die Lage ist völlig ruhig. Sehr nette, engagierte und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Für WLAN musste man im Moment noch 50 Meter zum Haupthaus laufen.
