Stunning pool!

We were three adults staying at the property. The accomodation is roomy and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is small but well equipped. The crowning glory is the pool area with the magnificent view. We enjoyed our stay very much. The owners house is also by the pool, Andy and Julie were absolutely lovely and considerate so this did not impact our stay but if you were after full privacy this would be something to be aware of.

Stunning retreat with stunning views

We stayed for 3 nights and could have stayed longer. This delightful property was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We made full use of the pool and spa. We made trips into Whangarei for groceries and self catered throughout our stay. Next door we had the lovely Andy and Lesley who were so welcoming and friendly. We are looking forward to booking this property again in the future
