Amazing spot, and fantastic host. Great communication and super helpful. The house and garden suite was very well suited to our 2 small families. The house was warm and cosy, with a lovely sunny garden and deck. Outdoor bath was a hit with the kids and there're so many great activities right on your door. We'll be back!

Great place to stay with all the amenities included. The beach is a short walk away and you can walk a loop back via the estuary. This was great for our 4 and 6 year old kids who love beach combing. The bach is super close to the pancake rocks and shops there. We also went to the Truman track and the Punakaiki cavern which our kids loved. I recommend packing gum boots! The out door bath was a fun treat for our kids. The house was very clean and the kitchen has everything you need to self cater. Tine was very helpful and great to deal with. I hope we can go back in summer! xx
