What a fantastic wee spot this is. We had amazing views and the accommodation was absolutely lovely and well appointed, with the hosts kitting it out with just about everything you would need. Robbie and Dave were absolutely fantastic hosts and incredibly helpful, providing information on local events and even giving us a bait when we forgot ours. They even gave us a crayfish.

Amazing view from a stunning home stay! Had everything we needed and more. Felt like home away from home. Stunning views from all rooms. Loved all the swings on the trees for the kids and straight out the gate onto the beach. We will definitely be back! Thanks again Robbie.

Bliss at the beach

Such a relaxing stay. I knew it would be nice, but this was excellent. The roar of the ocean serenading us the entire time. Robbie and Dave were great hosts, going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and knew the lay of the land. Highly recommended. Will be back for sure!

Fantastic hidden oasis

Loved our stay here. New and modern facilities - a home away from home (fabulous), two bathrooms was a must for us and hard to find, so it's a great bonus. Great views, lovely decking, and very close to the beach (access could be a little bit more user-friendly for elderly).The second unit was vacant so it was all very private for us. Booking both units is a great option for larger groups or extended families to stay.The hostess was awesome (even gave us a cray-fish from their catch - a nice surprise for us and a specially for my husband :) ).Overall really nice spot, would like to come back again.

A little luxury at the beach

Absolutely loved our stay here! We were staying for a wedding and it was perfect if not more for what we needed. It was sparkling clean, and had everything that we needed being fully equipped.Robyn was an exceptional host touching base making sure all was ok. Was lovely waking up in very comfortable beds to the beach view its just a shame that the either was so grotty! Thankyou for having us and we absolutely recommend this for a luxury beach get away.

Paradise Found!

What an absolute treasure - a perfect beachfront location and a property that could not be faulted! From the seamless check-in process to the well-equipped kitchen to the luxury wet-room showers down to the thoughtful touches like a supply of paperbacks/games and guest Netflix account for the rainy days, we were left wanting for nothing during our stay. Waking every day to the stunning beachside sunrise we were in our own peaceful private haven, there may have been other guests around but we certainly never heard or saw them! A perfect luxury esacpe and worth every cent - we will be back!

Great location

The accommodation is in two detached, large, very clean and comfy units separated by a wide BBQ area. We had one end, with two people in the other and we never heard a thing - there's good double glazing & overall sound insulation plus the wide area in the middle. The long deep deck at the front gives a panoramic view across the beach just a few seconds walk away, sliding doors providing access from the main room and from both bedrooms, each of which has its own large bathroom / wetroom with shower. We didn't need any of the disabled access features, but it looked like it was very well kitted out for anyone who might. There's a huge, excellent gas cooker & oven, full height dishwasher and a strong WiFi signal with what seemed like pretty fast access. No issues with mobile reception either. You're likely to want to just unplug from the online stuff once you sit in the lounge area looking out through the big doors / windows to that view... A great place to relax. Locally, there aren't many walking tracks because the steep hills are I think too slip-prone for that, but you can walk/bike/quad-bike for miles on the beach (even at high tide there's usually a route through). Lots of local towns around too, roads are windy but very pretty & makes for good mini road trips. Hosts are amazing, even delivering some feijoa and figs from their garden! We had a great time.
