Really nice views. Tidy and comfortable.
We had great communication from the hosts, and finding the property and checking in was easy. Although the weather wasn't great, the view over golden bay remained captivating. The studio was tidy and comfortable. Thanks Shelley and Steve.

Great apartment stay.
Shelley was a wonderful host and the spacious apartment was perfect for us. We travelled all over the Golden Bay area and had a magical sunset on our last night. Thanks so much.

Thank you for your lovely review Grant and Imeleta. It really was a joy meeting and chatting with you both, and the cherry on top was how immaculate you left the studio! It made my day, thank you :). I'm so glad you had a great time and also that the weather held to give you some gorgeous views and sunsets. We hope you come back and stay with us again.
Shelley was an excellent informative and friendly host! The property absolutely has amazing views. Very quiet and serene. Had everything we needed and more.

Loved every minute!
Beau Vista at Pohara is a superbly appointed studio with a perfect host in Shelley. Nothing was too much trouble and this is a perfect location for a couple.

It was a real pleasure welcoming Leonie and Alan. They were so nice and complimentary and we'd love to have them stay again. I was only sorry I wasn't there with Steve to say goodbye, as I had to attend a meeting. But I really appreciated how immaculate they left the studio. Thank you so much Leonie and Alan, and thank you for your kind review. We hope you enjoy the rest of your long holiday in NZ. :)

Great location, close to the beach and town. Very friendly and helpful host
Very comfortable space for a couple. Tidy.
Host was helpful and friendly.
Small thing is the bathroom shower is not enclosed to it gets very wet after a shower. Living area arrangement could be accomodated to let the tv be watched from the bed perhaps.
Otherwise great handy place to stay at
Thank you
