This is a great house for groups of friends or families. Third bedroom sleepout worked well for our group - and the extra bathroom facilities outside near the spa are great.
Comfy beds! Short taxi ride to/from ferry and easy walk up to Oneroa.
We had a fantastic weekend and really enjoyed this bach.
Easy, short walk up the hill to everything in Oneroa, great kitchen to cook in and hot tub to soak in!
Would stay again.
We had a great time staying here the night before my wedding, it was very relaxing with the spa. Well equipped kitchen and all very clean. Great communication.
Ideal central location to get to the village, swim spots and playground. Great set up for families and kids, or without them. Lovely place to relax, and nicely presented house. Hammock, spa, outdoor settings and outdoor shower were great additions. Very clean.
We had a few issues during our stay - given wrong code to get in house initially, key for outhouse not where it was meant to be, two compendiums that contradicted each other, wrong Wi-Fi code given via email but correct in compendium. One half roll of toilet paper supplied, had to rush out to get more when we realised there were no spares. Lock on sleep out difficult to use, no normal tv channels to watch (no instructions on compendium on how to use either), was told a high chair could be supplied but wasn’t there on arrival.
Improvements could be made with a smart tv with an aerial, a few rolls of toilet paper, champagne glasses (not just still wine glasses), wine stopper, 1 compendium with correct info in it.
Despite the things that weren’t perfect, we still had a great stay and will be back again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is in such a great location, handy to the bus stop and an easy walk into town. Photos don’t do this house justice it is so gorgeous! Beautiful landscaping and very clean, we loved relaxing in the spa after a day at the vineyards. This house was a great size for 3 couples and was super handy having the extra toilet outside and outdoor shower. Communication with the owner was awesome- she was kind, attentive and very helpful with check in and check out. Would love to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone!!!
We recently had three nights in Oneroa and absolutely loved the house. From first impressions we didn't know what to expect as the house is very modest from the front. But a glimpse into the lounge room let me know we were not going to be disappointed. The house has beautiful stylish beachy decor, very comfortable beds and all the extras you might expect plus more! We were in the spa several times a day and it was the perfect way to chill after a busy day (of eating and drinking!) We were a family of four plus grandparents and the spacious sleepout gave the grandparents their own space to relax in. The outdoor toilet and shower was a bonus too. As you can tell we loved the house and would highly recommend.

Short but sweet
We only stayed a couple of nights but the place was perfect. Great location, beautiful clean modern interior and had some nice luxuries including the spa, Nespresso coffee, electric blankets and bikes! It felt like a home away from home. Thanks for a wonderful stay would highly recommend.

This is a beautiful property, spacious but cosy lounge. Functional indoor, outdoor flow between the kitchen/second living area and the deck. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook a meal including a Nespresso machine. Easy walk to town. Would recommend this property!

Wonderful place to relax and unwind
We loved our stay here.Beds were really comfortable and the outside space was fabulous.Having two separate living spaces worked really well and gave us all enough room. We have stayed in many baches and this really is a little gem.
Will definately be back here again.

Great location for accessing the shops and beach etc.
Great location for accessing the shops and beach etc. House had everything we needed and the bed linen was very comfortable. Only downside I would say is that the cleaners didn't leave enough towels or toilet paper and on check out day they arrived at 10:01am and we felt hurried out of the place, despite being ready to go. Other than that, it was a great stay. Spa pool was lovely too.

We had a fantastic weekend at this property, you can tell it is a well loved family home. It's modern clean and we loved using the jacuzzi and back garden. The finishing touch would be a heat pump to cool things down but you can't have everything! We will definately go back :-) in fact we are already planning our next visit!!
