    This is a big place with three rooms with en suites and shared lounge and kitchen. Nice spa. We had the place to ourselves but it would be great for a group of 6.

Company info

After returning from an extended overseas adventure on our yacht, we were excited & motivated to build our Moko Hiwi Escape in Aotearoa-New Zealand, to share with other travellers & adventurers. Having left for 6 months in 2015 to tour around Europe, 2 years later, we sailed back into Marsden Cove Marina, having bought a yacht in the Caribbean!! How did THAT happen? Our blue-water experience prior to this had been a couple of seasons up to Fiji & discovered the sociable and friendly life style, meeting many like minded travellers on the way. So sailing back from St Maarten seemed a natural progression? The bonus of travelling like this, opened doors to land based travel, as well meeting everyone from fellow wind bludgers to land lubbers, all sharing their amazing lives & stories of magnificent places they’d been & the things they’d seen. We are both avid sports supporters with Rugby Union top of our list. Jevon has a playing and coaching history, while I still attempt to run around a soccer (football) pitch. Sailing hasn’t slowed up much, as we’ve recently purchased our Privilege 48’ Catamaran in Australia. A bit of a do-up , but hey, the house is finished now!
