Excellent host and bach

Karen was a wonderful host and the accommodation was in pristine condition. It is a great place to come to relax and recharge. Waipu Cove is also quite close. The fire burning stove was so cosy on the rainy night.Thank you also for the extra treats we found in the fridge and cupboards. The library with interesting books was a bonus. We really enjoyed our short stay, thank you!

Very Rejuvenating Stay

Such a beautiful property and the photos do not do it justice! Karen was an amazing host. The foggy sunny morning view was incredible. The place is beautifully designed which doesn't come across in the photos. If you love minimal architecture with native botanical vibe you should book. She also made us afghans and had fresh squeezed orange juice in the fridge for the next morning. I will be back
