Lovely and spacious property with amazing views and remote/rural feel. Made full use of the large, fenced section which was ideal for young kids and lawn games etc. We managed to go diving and get a limit of Paua from the nearby beach which was great. Very enjoybale stay and great way to bring in the New Year.

We had 16 people and we all fit. Lots of lounge space and the big tables were great. Good views and flat area for playing on. Good fishing, not far to beach for adventures (swimming beach at Riversdale, 25 mins drive).

Loved staying here! It's a peaceful location with beautiful views. We had a large group and the space was big enough for all of us while still feeling cosy. Loved having the fire in winter and everyone appreciated the comfortable beds. It was really easy heading down the road to find the beach which was fun to explore. The hosts we're excellent at communication. Would love to come back!
