Lovely sea front property, great kitchen, close to shops and best veges nearby.
Had a great week especially loved our visits from our dog friend next door called Renfro.
The view from the villa was awesome only one issue could do with an air conditioner found it quite hot inside at night overall it was good

Great room and value.
Pros: clean, view, patio, quite (minuse roosters and dogs lol) good kitchen, good location.
Cons: rocky beach can not go in the water at all, limited supplies a total of 4 bath towels so 2 each for 8 nights total of 2 wash cloths, no extra sheets, very thin 1 ply toilet paper. We bought paper towels.
Bed was not comfortable for us as it was hard and very springy but it my be fine for others.
Was on the plane sending frantic emails for the access code to enter our room. That caused unnecessary stress since it was so late. We did get it with Expedia's help a few hours later after 7pm
Overall I would book again based on value and view. We saw whales from our patio several times.
The apartment was lovely with amazing views of the ocean. It was very spacious and had all the facilities that we needed.
Whilst eating out in the area was limited if you don’t have a car. There was one place however called B&Js. Fantastic food over looking the ocean. The service was outstanding. Highly recommend

The property had everything you could possibly need. It was spotlessly clean. Came across some staff who were very friendly and helpful. Had absolute privacy. Close to all amenties. I woke up to a spectacular ocean front sunrise each morning
Highly recommend this property

Ocean watching delight
Very comfortable Villa with everything you need to be self sufficient. Spacious with a lovely deck looking out to ocean. Ocean breeze or fans to keep you cool. Window screens were great to keep out bugs. Ure was so helpful and when we had a maintenance issue she was on to it straight away. A very generous late check out was also much appreciated. Watched whales go past as we sat on the deck. Highly recommend.
Nice large single room and outside sheltered deck.
Great views of the sea.
Very rocky shore so beach walks a bit limited. Not swimmable.
Lounge chairs hard, cushions not very good.
Handy to Muri, a small supermarket and pub nearby.

Property manager amazing property itself not so much. There was no tv rang and one was brought down. No remote. Sorted remote but then no signal. Internet is crap there. Just get Starlink like other properties.
Terrible experience. We booked this property for five nights and only stayed two. We walked out and ended up paying for a resort on the island.
The first two nights we got zero sleep due to barking dogs and the horrendously uncomfortable bed. We ended up trying to sleep on the floor on cushions from the outdoor furniture.
When we return home, we requested a refund for the nights we didn’t stay and that was rejected.
Won’t be booking via Wotif again.

No air conditioning made it too hot to sleep. We left 4 days early due to this. Emailed Villa manager twice with no reply. Communication was a problem as phone didnt connect through to office either.
Bit disappointing 😞

Spacious, clean. Decor is modern, simple, classy, suitable for the climate and easy to keep clean and tidy. Just the couch could do with being more comfortable. Out-of-the-way location means transport needed for most places, but it's a small island. Unfortunate day 1 disaster, arrived 9pm, couldn't get in and had to find alternative accommodation.

Excellent property very well maintained with well above the normal in both equipment and furnishings
Quiet location and very private
We would certainly highly recommend for a peaceful break and yet quite close to amenities
if its privacy you are after this is for you , I did however have the whole place to myself this suited me fine
After initial communications , this fell away quite badly
Property manager did not seem to be very knowledgable about the place , couldnt answer some basis questions
Tried contacting them only to discover had left for Auckland
without advising . Laundry piled up without replacing , fortunately next door was unlocked so I managed to score fresh towels from here

This was clean & tidy accomadation (although lights flickered a lot & not all worked!) close to the sea & lovely coffee & fresh croissants 2 mins walk.
We enjoyed our week long stay in Villa 1, just a couple of things worth mentioning, the unit could do with a bottle opener and the shower tends to spray all over the bathroom floor, and maybe a communal BBQ for all guests out front for cooking on, overall a great place to base ourselves, the KAPS store 150mtrs down the road is great too.
Spacious and modern great Seaside views great rooms the property Manager was very kind and exuded personality thankyou UraTamangaro our friends who stayed in other places also thought we had loverly modern accommodation I would recommend this place to family and friends for sure we will be back
