We loved the view. Good parking and not too far from things. We did find when people are in the apartment next door that it’s quite noisy like their doors sliding. Thank you so much though. Loved watching movies on Netflix and only had a few wifi drop outs. Overall would choose fish

My wife, toddler and I all thought this place was great! Off the beaten track and tucked up in the hillside, it was nice and quiet with great views. The little 2 bedroom unit was perfect for the three of us. Communication was excellent as well, allowing us to sneak in a little early to put the little one to bed. Much appreciated and highly recommended!

An excellent view from our 'panoramic' unit out over Mangawhai Heads. General condition of our unit was very clean but the decor and bathroom facilities were dated. The showerhead is fixed and with only temperature adjustment with very high water pressure that could not be adjusted. The shower enclosure was very small.

Despite the awful weather, it was great. The apartment was lovely if we had to be stuck indoors, which we were. Great views out to coast. When we did venture out for walks, our hosts were so good in taking all our wet clothing and drying them for us. The area is great and would love to return preferably when the sun is shining!
