Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Very nice and clean, as described. Very comfy bed. Loved the sound of the birds Nice outlook and so close to the beach. Great spot for a break away!
Water pressure was a bit on/off when having shower. But still much better than other places I have stayed!
Fantastic location and the cabin was set up perfectly for just myself but would be ideal for a couple as well the bed and bathroom were a great size Paul and his wife are great hosts and good people I highly recommend booking a stay here 👍
Loved absolutely everything
Great location
Most beautiful cottage with everything you need in a quiet gorgeous wee bay and just seconds from the beach. Marina views from the lovely decking. Lovely friendly owners with their friendly dog live next door and are happy to help or give recommendations if needed. A fun walk (tide permitting) around the bay to the local restaurants
Nothing
Paul fue excepcional ayudándome y guiándome a cambiar planes por mal temporal. Como dicen en inglés, above and beyond. La camita tiene todo y por dentro es mejor que MUCHOS hoteles. Re cómodo, limpio, altos estándares de calidad de las cosas en el lugar.
Que me fui :)
clean n comfy
good lication n friendly host
Fabulous location! Great communication from the hosts Paul and Julie. Thank you
Perfect little guest house for two people! The location was fabulous. It was steps from the water and only a few minutes drive into town. The owners were lovely. They let us know when low tide was, hiking spots, and the best restaurants. I wouldn’t change one thing.
We had the most amazing stay here! The cabin has everything you need and was very comfortable and clean. The location is amazing, literally a couple of seconds walk to a beautiful beach and easy to walk into town if the tide is right. Also lots of great things to do and beaches to visit just a short drive away. What really made our stay though was the incredible owner Paul, he went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, had great knowledge on things to do, and was beyond helpful with helping us sell our car and then showed us great kindness by dropping us into town! I’m not sure what we’d have done without him and we are incredibly grateful! Would hugely recommend staying here!
Nothing, it was all great!
Very clean and tidy Only 30 m walk to a lovely swimming beach Everything you need in a kitchen, hot plate with frypan and pot, microwave and a BBQ if you need it The kitchen area is enclosed in a plastic wind shield and we sat out there every afternoon The bed was very comfy Big bathroom with lovely hot shower Paul gave us great tips on arrival, my favourite was coffee at Salt Air in Ngunguru NB The Wifi didn’t work for us but we had good data reception
Die Unterkunft liegt am Wasser mit Möglichkeit SUPs und Kayaks zu nutzen. Die hosts waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit - wir haben gute Tipps für Unternehmungen in der Nähe bekommen.
Love how cosy the cabin was, the warm welcome and the beach where you could go kayaking or standup paddle boarding.
More of a word of advice to future guests than a negative: close the door and windows before sunset otherwise you'll have some mosquitos bothering you at night 😜
Beautiful location Comfortable Clean Good facilities Great comms by hosts
People walking in main house could be heard in cabin, but we are used to total silence so probably more noticeable
The beachcombing while walking the shore to the marina was memorable.
Super sejour d'une nuit dans cette mignonne petite cabane. L'emplacement en bord de mer est incroyable pour une petite baignade en fin de journée et au levé du jour. Le lit est très confortable et la fraîcheur de la nuit nous a permis de bien dormir. Julie est une hôte très souriante et amicale. Dans la marina située a proximité vous trouverez un délicieux restaurant schnappa rock et un super magasin de vêtements de surf 🏄 Great overnight stay in this cute little cabin. The beachfront location is amazing for a swim at the end of the day and at sunrise. The bed is very comfortable and the cool night air allowed us to sleep well. Julie is a very cheerful and friendly host. In the nearby marina you will find a delicious schnappa rock restaurant and a great surf clothing store.
Nous proposons comme point d'amélioration un lavabo pour la vaisselle. As an improvement, we suggest an outdoor sink for washing dishes.
The hosts provided information and offered help. The location was pretty and relaxing. At low tide its a short walk to the village and dive centre. It's a cabin so be realistic about the size. Early morning it's cold, but the shower is hot and the bed very warm. I'd return to stay there without hesitation
nothing really.
Great beachside location Secluded and quiet
Wi Fi very poor I know we are on holiday but for planning activities and communicating with friends it was pretty useless
Beautifully secluded, stunning location, definitely a place to relax and unwind. Small and intermit but had everything we needed for our fabulous few days away.
There was nothing to not like.
Great location and very cosy
It had everything we required for a 2 night stay
Very friendly and helpful hosts
Exceptional place that although small was very well thought out. Superb location that was just idyllic. Very friendly host and great information sent to us pre visit to help with travel.
I would have liked a small shelf for phone and book on the wall side of the bed with a lamp
Great location with great hosts. Nice quiet spot to relax and unwind with a great book.
Perfect location and helpful hosts. The cabin had everything I needed during my stay.
Fantastic location, and this cabin had everything I needed for my stay.
What a location ,its a small cabin next to owners house right on the beach .Loved sitting outside at night looking out to sea ,you also can use the kayaks and sup that are there .The owners were there to help and advice you on anything you needed and local area and great little find.
nothing
Location right on the beach
Nothing
Great hosts
Beautiful spot right on the beach, added bonus was free use of the Kayaks. Friendly hosts with plenty of advice as to what to see and do in the area. Loved it, we'll be back :)
Great location quiet great host lovely people very kind and friendly
Incredible value for money. Friendly hosts. Loved taking the kayaks out and exploring the bay.
Great cabin and location looking out over the bay. Short walk to beach Bed was comfortable. All the facilities you need for a short stay. Did not cook there but there was a BBQ and hob if needed. Tui came each evening to say hello
Could have had a drying rack for clothes but we did not ask
Only one minor gripe. The water in the shower drained very slow. Probably needs to be cleared. But not a big issue at all.
Beautiful little cabin right next to the beach! Exactly what we wanted for a couple nights away. Paul and Julie were so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Would absolutely stay here again and would recommend to everyone else.
Fabulous location and amazing stay. Perfectly appointed cabin for quick get away to the water. Hosts were fantastic. This wee stay exceed expectations and look forward to coming back next summer.
Location was wonderful. Listening to th water lapping onto the shore and being just steps from the water was nice. The small porch loveseat was nice for sitting.
The room with the bed was much smaller than pictured. The bed had to be pushed against the wall which made it very difficult for two people to get in and out of it. The bed squeaked!! There was not enough room for our two suitcases making it difficult to maneuver to the bathroom. The shelves with the microwave on top provided no additional space for personal items. There was just no space.
Beautiful setting, lovely and helpful hosts and nicely appointed cabin
All was great
The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The Cabin was small but had everything needed for staying there. The location is very attractive.
Stunning location. Paul & Julie were friendly and helpful.All precious reviews cover how fantastic this gem is!
Beautiful little cabin. Julie was very accommodating even though the weather was pretty bad. It would be absolutely beautiful on a sunny day!
Great spot to relax and take in the beauty of the area. Paul is a great host, making us feel very welcome and full of recommendations. Would definitely stay here again.
Excellent view, close to waters edge and friendly hosts. Although small, it was well equiped and loved sitting out on the deck watching the kereru in the tree.

Lovely setting. Very friendly and helpful hosts who made the stay super relaxing and memorable.
Beautiful location, just a few steps to the beach. Bathroom is huge with a good shower.
Bedroom is very compact - I'd probably remove one item of furniture to make it feel less cramped. Outdoor cooking facilities are limited to a barbecue and a toaster, don't plan a meal that needs an oven!
relaxed environment and great access to walks around the coastline
booked this for my daughter and her partner and they loved their stay and planning on coming back very soon 😊
The location is amazing - off the beaten track and quiet - close to beach - and not far to drive to shops if needed. The cottage is amazing - everything you need for a quiet getaway - bed was comfy - shower was great - basic utensils provided . Hosts were amazing - welcoming and informative about activities in the area - available when required but left you alone to do your own thing.
My toddler and I had the loveliest time at the cabin, amazing little spot with a private beach 10 steps away! Paul and his family were super friendly and very nice to us! We’ll definitely be coming back!!
Great location, a really neat little spot by the water. The cabin was well equipped and totally clean. The hosts were a lovely family who we really enjoyed meeting. Highly recommend this accommodation!
Nothing, was great!
so friendly and they couldn’t do enough to make my stay comfortable and memorable.
