Stunning views, clean! Light and airy, the well stocked fridge and pantry for our arrival, so thoughtful! A beautiful peaceful property. I hope to be back sometime.

Nothing of importance. TV signal didn’t work but the host, Peter, organised a technician to visit on a Sunday to try and sort it out.

Wow. Amazing apartment with lovely views captured by nearly all windows in the apartment.

In very hot weather the lack of air conditioning makes it necessary to have everything open.

The rooms and view are fantastic. Location is lovely and far enough off the beaten track to feel separated and quiet. Opua is much quieter than Paihia and is a 20 min walk. Paihia is a lovely 90 min walk (but do avoid high tide for the last 2km into Paihia unless you’re happy to paddle!). We intentionally didn’t have a hire car and it suited us perfectly.

There was no privacy. We didn’t like being interrupted by the owner throughout our stay. It was unnerving. He came into our space no less than 6 times!! for no reason. He never knocked or announced his intention to come into our space, he just turned up. We felt like he was spying on us. He even creeped up the stairs at 9pm in his pyjamas I was on my own in the lounge and got a huge fright to see him standing there in the dark. He didn’t say anything just stood there. I don’t recommend this place.

the property was set in an idyllic location. You couldn’t fault the location and even on a rainy day the view were exceptional

All good

Location was superb, perhaps adding eggs to breakfast menu would be good

The bathroom needs significant updating, and I would expect a cooked breakfast to the per night rate. It's not great value for money. Didn't like sharing a large table at breakfast espeically as the other guests had come straight off a cruise ship. Covid is still real, and for those who are still cautious, being that close to others at breakfast isn't great. Feather pillows were lovely for me, but my sister is asthmatic, so a choice would have been good.

The view was astounding.. even in the rain. The guest area was very comfortable and well equipped. The towels were huge and fluffy and the bed was so comfortable.

Location was great - fabulous 180deg inlet/sea views. Loved the fresh fruit for breakfast, pineapple, kiwifruit, banana, rhubarb etc., with yoghurt, all bran and toasted muesli. Peter did great poached eggs. There is a good nespresso machine that is available for use, and always fresh fruit any time of day. The lounge upstairs is beautiful with amazing views.

The place is magnificent. It has extensive sea views. It is elegant and sophisticated . We were very lucky to have the place for ourselves and enjoyed a nice time on the couches. The room is big and warm, the bed is very comfortable and the shower is very nice as well. Peter prepared a very nice breakfast which we enjoyed with a very nice view. We will definitely return!

The owner said he hates having people there and regretfully does it for the money. Another thing, the photos show a spa pool.. myfault as i assumed its part of the property. Its not. it's not listed in the amenities but I find that picture very misleading and that photo should be removed.

The owner asked us to leave twice in the first 5 minutes

Stayed in April 2022

as above. we booked breakfast for 9am so went out to main area around 8.50 as we had to leave promptly. Breakfast not started no one around. we waited 5 mins and left as clearly we were not going to get breakfast at 9am. no coffee making facilities in room. bed was roll together limited parking

beautiful views room was small, dated but clean except for the spa bath which blew out sediment into the bath. beautiful house we had the place to ourselves

Beautiful place, very friendly host.

Paid a lot of money for a room with a spa bath that didn’t work, it didn’t even have a plug(had to pinch one from the kitchen) breakfast was poor, even when offered a cooked one on our last day we didn’t get it. wifi information in the room was incorrect, found out a day later there is other information in the common living area. Ceiling fan in the room made a terrible noise. The shower head wouldn’t hold up, had to turn it against the wall, otherwise you had to hold it in your hand. Impossible to sleep past 07:00 as you can hear all the other guests banging around. With exception to the view, it was overall a poor experience and falls far short of the luxury accommodation it advertises.

excellent views
