Garden Studio with ocean views

TraceyRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Kate and Johnny were perfect hosts. Let us be but always instantly available. They have lots of knowledge of the area. Very friendly and welcoming. We appreciated fresh bread, fruit and spreads for breakfast. Quiet and picturesque setting from our deck and in the spa looking down over the beach. Walkable distance into town albeit a steep but manageable path. Bed was super comfy. We weren’t doing activities in CBD but driving around all areas east. Thank you both. We will recommend.

Five Acre Farm - The Cabin

BeruRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Brie's place is seriously a gem. Waking up opening the door overlooking the balcony to the backyard farm was quite spectacular for a city guy. Everything is clean and perfect. The design of the interior makes it feel like home. I find that just by looking both outside and inside the house, brings a certain calm and peace. This is the where the value lies. It's also just the right distance to go to town (by car). And the apples in front, is really sweet and fragrant, almost like a perfume. We took one and ate it, it was amazing. I wish I knew it sooner so that it can be our breakfast (if allowed by Brie, ofc). To put it simply, it's the best blend of nature and modern. Seamless transition between inside and outside. This is one of the best place I've ever stayed on.

Gem of a Kiwi Bach!

KristiRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This place is the definition of a classic Kiwi bach — no frills, but absolutely unbeatable when it comes to the view. Waking up to the sunrise over Taylor’s Mistake was next level. The walking track literally starts at the back door, and it’s just a short drive to Sumner with great cafes and a beautiful beach. We’d read a lot of reviews about the access being tricky and not to bring big bags, but honestly, it was totally fine — I think I was expecting something way more intense, so it felt easy! The directions and photos were spot-on, and even though we arrived at 9:30pm in the dark, we found it with no issues… then woke up to that stunning view. Magic. Laura was also a fantastic host — we booked super last minute (just a few hours before arriving!) and she got in touch straight away to make sure we had everything we needed. If you’re after luxury, this isn’t it — but if you want a real-deal, relaxed Kiwi getaway with a view that seriously delivers, you’ve found the spot.

A modern living area features large glass windows offering sweeping views of the estuary and ocean. A light-colored sofa and armchair are arranged around a wooden coffee table, with a flat-screen TV mounted on the wall. Natural light fills the space, highlighting the stylish decor.

Oceanview Luxury 3BR Family Retreat

CharlotteRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Yvonne was an amazing host! We were kindly offered early check in and late check out! The house is stunningly decorated/renovated. The views are awesome. As I was travelling for work I really appreciated having a dual screen setup I could plug into with a wireless mouse and keyboard with a docking station. Smart TV meant we could watch our usual shows. The two heat pumps did a great job of keeping us warm on a miserable day, and the wall heaters in the bedrooms took the edge off any cold night temps. I’d highly recommend anyone stay here - be it for work or family time, it’s well kitted out for both!

The living area features a combination of natural textures and modern design. A brown leather sofa is positioned in front of a wooden media console, with a large flat-screen television mounted on the wall. A lush green plant and decorative items add a touch of warmth to the space.
