Amazing kitchen facilities, with everything you need to cook and drink. Teas and coffee selections with so many choices. Lovely unit with generous bedroom, pillows and space for your suitcase, clothes etc. Good bathroom though I did find the shower floor a bit slippery when wet. Check in process a breeze and lots of information to hand regarding what to do in and around Orewa. Lovely decor and felt very homely and welcoming.

We had a great stay at this peace of paradise. Location is incredibly relaxing and quiet, right next to the bush, and perfect for unwinding. We really appreciated that the property was all on one level and had everything we needed for a short stay. There was plenty of good reading material, and the deck is a real highlight—absolutely lovely if you get the chance to use it. Great communication from Sharon and we’d happily stay again.
