Superb cozy and comfortable studio, with amazing views, I wish I could stay there longer
Uitzicht van studio
Jeden z najlepszych noclegów podczas naszej podróży po wyspie południowej. Cicho, czysto, wygodnie. W pełni wyposażone małe mieszkanie. Bardzo miła właścicielka. Zdecydowanie warte polecenia!
Very lovely property, perfect size and had all the facilities that you needed. The views were spectacular!
The property was perfect however the road to get there was quite narrow and steep but was absolutely fine to drive on
Es war perfekt!
Excellent location, with views across the bay. The host was very helpful. Everything needed was close to hand in the studio, ideal for two people.
Otrolig utsikt över havsviken. Modernt! Skön säng. Mycket trevligt värdpar som även visade oss vandringsleder. Totalt sett fantastisk dagar!
The studio has a comfortable double bed, kitchenette with microwave and portable stove top, separate bathroom and outside deck. The views are fantastic . Felicia was really friendly and helpful . Directions to the studio were detailed and very useful. It was a wonderful relaxing stay for our last night in NZ .
It was all perfect
Fantastic location, very friendly hosts. Definitely recommend staying here!!
Great host, nice unit, fabulous view.
Beautiful and comfy little place, with stunning views across the water. Has everything you need for a few nights. Felicia the host was super friendly and made us feel very welcome.
It is a charming, cosy studio with a stunning view, I wish I could stay longer. Felicia greeted me upon my arrival (not such a frequent occurrence nowadays) and made me feel at home. The only thing to bear in mind is a rather tricky access, a narrow and steep road, so arriving during daylight for the first time would be better.
The views, the facilities and the friendliness of the owners. 10 out of 10!!
Views were amazing and waking to birds spectacular.
While the room had everything needed for a getaway, it was a little cramped, meaning I walked into bed frame a few times. Shins have some good colour.
Nice and quiet place with a great view. Owner was quick to respond to our inquires before arrival, and greeted us as we arrived. The apartment has everything we needed.
Stunning view on the bay, very kind hosts. If you're lucky, you might get a morning walk along the coast with Eric and Molly the cute dog. Très sympha.
Great view!!!!
Beautiful studio,Fantastic location with stunning views, and soo peaceful. Very clean and comfortable and well equipped. The owners very friendly, but also respectful of our privacy. Just a stunning place..
Nothing to dislike.
very beautiful view of sea, very friendly couple. really recommend to other people. The host even shared some pizzas with us when local restaurants were closed, very nice people.
nothing
Very friendly hosts. Lovely clean, warm and comfortable studio. Amazing views. Bed was very comfy. Big bathroom great shower. Ideal for short stays for couples.
Parking was tricky even with a hatchback as negotiating a very deep storm water drain at top of shared driveway without tearing up the underside of my car was a challenge. Only other thing I would mention is 'oven and stovetop' in booking description was a little misleading. It is a small bench top convection oven and an electric plug in 2 plate cooker which didn't get very hot we found on attempting to cook our dinner the first night. The second night we decided it wasn't worth the hassle and got fish n chips at the local shops. It didn't really feel as private as we had hoped as the studio is attached to the main house above. I may have missed that in the description.
Gorgeous outlook with great birdsong. Well set up.
A comfy couch would have been a great addition
The view, the view, the view. The studio is equipped with everything that you would need for a short stay. Great communication with the owners.
Nothing.
Everything you need for 2 people. Great kitchen and dining set up.
The bed was a little firmer than we're used to, but a good bed if that's what you like.
This is a really nice place to stay for one person or a couple. The views are great. It was nice to find salt, pepper and other useful stuff in the kitchen. Keep in mind you need approximately 40 min to CHC City Center.
Great location, really clean, fantastic views from the balcony. The hosts couldn't have been more helpful. Would definitely stay again.
Stunning location, clean and very warm. Hosts were amazing, the stay was just what we needed
That i couldn’t be there longer
The view was excellent and the studio cozy. Friendly host!
The bed was great and the view spectacular
Very comfortable studio in a unique spot. Loved the view over the Harbour and birdlife in the bush setting. Hope we can return for another visit.
Nothing to dislike.
Amazing location! We loved the birdsong and seeing the kereru, bellbirds and quail. The views were beautiful of the harbour. The room was quiet and warm.
There was no coffee, shampoo or conditioner provided.
Super Clean and fully equipped Studio with fantastic bay views. The hosts were extremely personable, warm and inviting.
Follow the directions sent from the hosts or Google will send you on a difficult road
Stunning views Down to earth host
The parking was more than fine but I could see other people might have a problem
Lovely quiet stay! Great views!
Nothing!
The view of the harbour and the birds singing.
This is beyond the hosts control, as the hosts and accommodation were excellent. The access road was very narrow for a long wheel base van. I accessed the accommodation on Bayview road via marine drive. It would have been better if I drove a few more kilometres to the foursquare supermarket and turned onto hunters Road ( goes past the school) and turns onto bayview as the road is flatter and wider.
Spectacle view from the window Friendly and warm host
It was difficult to find the place No sign
