Stayed Feb 4, 2022Property was lovely and clean, had a great space, kitchen with all you need, felt cosy and you could tell it was well cared for and loved by hosts. Host Lisa was fantastic, very friendly and kind; taking our 3yo to feed the ducks and see the sheep. Would be great in both summer and winter!

Stayed Jul 25, 2025This is a lovely cabin, based in the countryside, looking out across bush to beautiful Mt Mania. It is in a great location with gorgeous beaches and bushwalks nearby.It was cozy and warm, with bifold doors that can open up on warm days or evenings. Fairly clean. All cooking utensils are provided, but no complimentary tea, coffee, sugar oil, or milk, (as there often is when you hire a holiday home), which is important to know: the nearest shop is 15 minutes drive away in Parua Bay and it closes at 7pm. Lisa was friendly, and her dog Jess was a sweetie girl

Stayed Jun 23, 2023Amazing little rural slice of paradise. Great self-contained unit, a fab view of Mt Manaia, eating places nearby, lots of walks and beaches, and playgrounds. Lisa is the kindest host, going over and beyond. Thank you Lisa! Highly recommend! No faults.
