A truly gorgeous weekend. We were blessed with perfect weather, and wonderful time to catch up and slow down with dear friends from across the globe. Benjamin's 30th birthday was officially marked in our memories with "stargazing" in the sky, sea (phosphorescence), and bush (glowworms). We enjoyed walks to the lookout and waterfall, cruising around in the dinghys, and lots of lawn games and good chats. Thank you so much for sharing your very special home with us!

a stunningly beautiful place wood pigeons and tui and orca all seen from the house caught blue cod and gurnard off the jetty and terakihi in the bay it is not often that a house surpasses the photographs We loved our week here and would highly recommend it

We booked both Cherith house and cottage for our group of 14 and it worked perfectly. The house and the cottage are close enough together that it is an easy to walk between the two. Great to be able to see the beach from the cottage to keep an eye the kids. Lunch and wine and the resort cafe was a real treat for the adults! We had a great time boating, fishing, kayaking and swimming from the jetty. Being able to use the wifi in the evening to catch up on the news back home was a nice added bonus. Both the house and cottage are well set up and have everything you need for a great holiday. We will definitely be back!
