Perfect

The property met all my expectations and provided the perfect accommodation for myself and my family. We could be all together in one place and gave the grandchildren time to bond even more. Everything that you could possibly need is there, it felt very welcoming. Thank you

Beautiful place in a beautiful land

The stay was amazing and all was great. The laundry was $5 NZL for wash and $5 NZL to dry. This would have been great to know before hand but it was fine. This was the only con and was not really a con just would have liked to have known before hand. The house was very well stocked with dishes and appliances. It was a great stay. Highly recommend

Wonderful!

An amazing place for our family reunion -spacious, relaxed, comfortable, clean all in a beautiful setting. The kitchen was excellent with everything we could possibly need, including 2 large fridges! The wonderful fireplace with a plentiful supply of wood, a comfortable area for TV and games, and a large dining table look out to the spacious deck and lawn area through large sliding glass doors. The children loved exploring the creek, playing on the 2 trampolines and feeding the chooks. The bedrooms are smallish but each one has doors opening to the deck. Bathrooms were plentiful and clean. Geoff was a fantastic host. We all enjoyed a fabulous week.

Nothing short of magnificent

The pictures don’t do this property justice, the beauty is beyond words. The house accommodates large groups perfectly. There’s so much room to spread out in the home, plenty of toilets and showers for everyone! And the kitchen was perfect for gathering and cooking. We highly recommend this property and will definitely be back.

Family birthday reunion

If you need to accommodate a good size family then this fine. Peaceful environment. However a couple of things was a negative for us. Considering the money we paid one would expect a coffee machine so we could make coffee. Probably the most annoying feature was SKY. We were all settling in for a good rugby event and had it starting on Sky. However we kept getting bump of because of too many users. As we were the only one on the house one must assume that the owner was also using this same access and knocking us off. This was most annoying and very disappointing.

Amazing

Thank you so much, Geoff and Family. Thank you for allowing us to visit your lovely home. Thank you for making it so simple to communicate. The rooms were amazing, the kitchen was enormous (we had three people cooking at the same time), and the back porch was secluded and tranquil. It was like stepping into a little slice of heaven. It was difficult to leave because we were so relaxed and at ease. My family and I had the best time here, and we're still buzzing after our visit. strongly suggested

Fantastic property in a great secluded location but still very close to the beach and other beautiful walks. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms was a key attraction and the lounge, dining area were great for a large group gathering. Geoff was fantastic with his communication, always responded to any questions I had. I would highly recommend this property.

Absolutely Stunning

The property exceeded my expectations. The beds were so comfy, I slept deeply for the first time in years. The owners were friendly and as this was a ladies weekend (11 of us) with lots of cooking on the agenda, we were all incredibly thankful to see such a well stocked kitchen for pots and pans! Easy walk to the beach, beautiful outlook, 2 mins walk to the start fo the falls walk. Would highly recommend.
