A Place away from Home

This Place is absolutely stunning and so peaceful. Such an amazing space to reflect, rest and recharge. This amazing place allowed us to feel relaxed, calm and had so much enjoyment connecting and engaging with our little Whanāu. Thank you to the amazing Host Gary for being hospitable, sharing & allowing our Whanau into your space of paradise. This place will not disappoint. Convenient to all that we needed. Such a beautiful space to spend away fr the big smoke of The city life. Will definitely be back

Wonderful holiday

Had the most amazing time with my family at Gary's. He was very kind and made it so comfortable. The house was clean and had everything. The garden was huge with a swing and flying fox for kids to play with. Kids loved spa. Little too cold for my kids for the pool but want to try in our next visit.

Lovely, private and comfortable stay.

Gary was easy to communicate with and gave reassurance with possible COVID lockdown changes at the time. The apartment had everything we needed and in a lovely area with a beautiful garden. The kids loved the pool and spa as well as the board games we didn’t expect to find.

Quick Trip to Tauranga

We really enjoyed our stay at this property, the pool was amazing! The host was easy to communicate with, just had an issue with not receiving the lockbox key code but that might be an error at the website’s end of things. We hope to bet back there soon.

Suburban Magic!!

Gary's apartment is in a suburban location which we loved! It was quiet, very clean, spacious and calming place. The outdoor living with pool and spa was incredible. Our children absolutely loved it. We were made to feel extremely welcome. The whole place made us feel at ease. The hosts were very nice, easy to talk to and very friendly when he welcomed us. We would definitely stay again!
