Hapuku Retreat

AndreaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We loved the peaceful area, absolutely breathtaking views, outdoor tub and unreal sunrises from the cabin. We loved unplugging, quick trips to check the surf and the slow comfort of the space. Fantails came to visit daily and the stargazing was awesome. Truly a special space and we hope to return someday!

Luxurious accommodation at Tahunanui Beach

IanRating, 5 stars1 week ago

A wonderful place. Moments from the beach where there were people swimming and SUPing all morning. We went in twice for an invigorating morning swim. Lovely walk loop on the beach too. The space is excellent, quiet and comfortable and very cool arty decor and a fabulous view. Driving in and out can be tricky due to traffic but a minor con in a sea of pro’s. Loved it. Raglan Roasts nearby do a cracking coffee too.

Netherwood Cottage

KimberleyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Exceptional! It's hard to do justice to such a beautifully renovated cottage set in one of the most outstanding locations for natural beauty. Truly a slice of heaven! This was further enhanced by the 'above and beyond' hospitality of Alexia and Justin, who ensured we were comfortable and right at home. With the colder weather just starting, we arrived to a lovely fire that warmed the house. Next day, my husband and daughter got to milk a cow, and we then went on a very informative tour of the farm. Alexia was a 'wealth of information'. The rest of our stay was spent privately exploring the river nearby, relaxing on the lovely verandah with gorgeous views, and enjoying games by the fire. The next day, Alexia even graciously allowed us extra time to vacate as they weren't expecting new guests. We were very blessed and left knowing that we will definitely be returning. I also loved my chats with Alexia!
