"Thank you Reen - a great place to stay and unwind. Having the fire going when we arrived was just the start of a wonderful stay. Super cozy, and waking to birdsong in the morning- we'll be back for sure."

"Great host, very helpful. Immaculate unit which has been recently stylishly refurbished I understand. Unusual to see a hob in there as well plus a microwave. Didnt use the hob myself but a great addition for someone who wants to cook their own meals rather than rely on the very limited food offerings. Would definately stay here again."

"Absolutely stunning place to stay! Gorgeous ocean views from each bedroom, back covered porch for a rainy day (we had sun the entire time!). The hosts were readily available for any questions. Place was immaculate, kayaks available, easy check in/out. Kitchen well equipped and pictures accurately show the property. Close to Tākaka, Farewell Spit, Pupu Springs, and so much more!"
