Lily Emo
Beautifully warm and comfortable. Thank you for the lovely stay, we really enjoyed our time in this thoughtfully designed house.
Tim Wilkinson
Beautiful design
Carole Westphal
Lovely contemporary home in eminently desirable above the cathedral location - walk to everything, including hillside hikes, but with a garage as well. Cozy even in the winter with a wall of north-facing windows and under floor heating on the main level. Hosts are the best - very helpful and available as needed but not hovering. You won't be disappointed if you book Wharekaretu!
Response from Owner
Thank you Carole, It was a pleasure meeting you and having you stay in our house. We look forward to hosting you next year, for July and August. Regards, Charles and Rosemary Shaw.
