The Rock

The view and location is beautiful. We had a bit of rain so we didn't get to fully enjoy the small deck as much as we would have liked to but the views from the windows were still great. The house is cozy and the fireplace works very well to heat the place up. The bed is comfy and it is very quiet, even with very windy night. There is also a beautiful rocky bay a short walk from the property, through some native bush. Highly recommend taking the time to do that on your stay.

We had soup one night and couldn't find a ladle anywhere so something could add to the kitchen. There is also a beautiful bath but the guest booklet says showers are prefered due to water restrictions etc. Just noting this as I specifically book places that have baths so that I can have them, as it's a novelty for me. So if I then get to accommodation and bath feels out of bounds, I am quite disappointed. Also there is quite a bit of gravel road driving, as mentioned by host and other guests. It is windy and there is quite a lot of damage from storms etc, so one way areas around corners. We unfortunately had a car speeding around one of the corners towards us which we had to dodge. Just something to keep in mind to go very slowly and be alert.

The views were INCREDIBLE and the property was so cozy, we had such a great stay!

No binoculars to see the view ;)

Beautiful location! Had everything you needed including pantry basics, board games and books. A great spot to get away and unwind from it all.

Limited wifi with payment needed for more.

There were wonderful views from every room in the house. The birdsong was very special. It was a 25 minute beautiful bush walk to the rocky seafront and a 12 minute drive to gorgeous sandy beaches. A perfect place to completely unwind.

We would have loved a bright light in the sitting room but realise that it would change the relaxed ambiance.

The Rock is beautifully located with stunning water views. The spaces are well appointed, kitchen has everything you need, lounge room is comfortable, bedrooms large and an amazing outdoor deck facing the views.

It is worth noting for those not familiar with the area, the closest groceries are a 35min drive away along mostly all unsealed gravel roads. The roads were fine to drive in the hire car.

Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt in diesem schönen Ferienhaus in Neuseeland. Alles war sehr sauber. Der Ausblick war beeindruckend, und obwohl es etwas abgelegen liegt, war genau das das Besondere – die Ruhe war unglaublich wohltuend. Paul war zu jederzeit erreichbar und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir würden es auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

The view was stunning

Nothing

Even when it stormed two days straight and we couldn't go out, the comfy sofas, the good wifi, the stereo and the very well equipped kitchen let us feel right at home. We even saw a curious pair of owls outside and the view was simply stunning!

Absolut traumhafte Lage mit Meerblick. Wer Ruhe sucht und entspannen möchte ist hier genau richtig.

It’s peaceful and has everything you need for a pretty good stay. We had a ripper time at the Rock and would definitely recommend it!

The location is INCREDBILE. What a beautiful house to spend a few days, completely remote and within nature! Superb views!!!

The location was great, quiet, close to beautiful beaches and a shortish drive to coromandle or colville. The house was perfect for us and had all we needed (2ad,2ch). If was comfortable, clean and had lots of outdoor spaces that we really enjoyed. The view is absolutely stunning which you could take in from the bedroom, lounge or deck where we ate all our meals. Highly recommended!

Everything about this property was absolutely perfect, even the weather when we stayed was sublime. The house felt inviting, homely and very comfortable. The view was absolutely stunning. This stay was the highlight of our trip, simply magic!!!

Nothing negative about it at all

The view was amazing. The house was very clean, comfortable and fully equipped for what we needed

Secluded, with spectacular panoramic views. Comfortable with real charm and character! We will be back to enjoy again; highly recommended.

Beautifully set up accommodation. Peaceful and relaxing with amazing views. Lots of visits from local wildlife. We will make sure we come back!

Great location for us (fishing expedition), comfortable, warm living areas and spotlessly clean with great views.

Hot water over kitchen sink wasn't working, so had to boil kettle to obtain hot water for washing dishes, otherwise no other problems.

Great location

Beautiful spot. Secluded and off the beaten track. A wonderful place to get away from it all and enjoy the view.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location! Well equipped, everything we needed. Comfortable bed and lounge area. Lovely walks nearby but it is a get away from it all property, make sure your stocked up before you arrive as there's no popping out, which we loved. The peace and birdsong was just perfect. Great communication from Paul. Would definitely reccomend.

Nothing

The view is outstanding, even with the end of Cyclone Tam making it's way off the coast of New Zealand. We found ourselves sitting and staring out to sea, absorbing the views, the sounds of the birds, and the crashing of the ocean on the rocks below. We even met the resident Ruru by following the track on the property. Listen out for the Kākā flying around the bush at the rear of the property. Beautifully presented home, extremely cosy - we slept very well. Due to the bad weather during our stay, we didn't do much adventuring, but during a break in the rain/wind, we took the track down to Boulder Bay. A lovely walk with some slippery parts, a good workout :)

Unfortunately, ants were a big problem, made worse by the wet weather. We are a clean and tidy couple, but even with this, they found themselves in the house (even on the bedding). We had found they had infested our car on departure day! Very grateful for the bug spray provided in the house (we used to live in Auckland and appreciate how much of a pain they are)

Incredible view, beautiful outlook, remote

Very remote, long drive to get anywhere, limited internet

Location and views were superb. House was immaculate and spotlessly clean.

Had a few challenges running hot water in the shower, but figured it out eventually.

That is such a special place - just wonderful! Would have loved to stay a few days more. Fotos show exactly what it is, but when you are there it’s even better. If you look for a perfect quiet place, with a breathtaking view, somewhere nowhere, that’s the place.

What can I say...this place is fantastic,the views are incredible and the facilities are second to none . Just wish we had been able to stay longer.

Nothing

Amazing, had every thing.

Sad we couldn’t stay longer
