Sun, Sea, and Serenity at Kai Iwi
We had a wonderful stay at Sunset Escape – Kai Iwi. It’s a cosy, well-maintained property that easily accommodated our group of 14, made up of three families with kids. The house was clean, spacious, and fully equipped with all the amenities we needed.The highlight was definitely the stunning view of the beach and ocean – absolutely perfect for anyone who loves being near the sea. The property felt private and peaceful, with no disturbances from neighboring houses.Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beachside escape with family or friends.
