The space is beautifully appointed. I really appreciated all of the finer details. The view over the water combined with the wonderful interior made for a very relaxing, calming and restorative stay.

Nothing not to like!

"Once upon a Tide Review"

10.0

I love the fact it was set on the beach and really good water pressure.The hosts were amazing. Very homely I fell in love and would stay there again anytime.Hands down one of our top 5 places in Auckland if you don't belive me try it!

Only thing was the weather and bed was a little bit hard I'm use to support soft. (My problems tho everyone thinks they are a critic) lol.

"A relaxing spot away from the hustle and bustle"

10.0

The property was lovely and the view was gorgeous, with easy access to the beach. A lovely setting and very lovely hosts who left clear information for us, which included attractions in the area. Everything was set up for when we arrived and small things - like the towel rack, heaters and underfloor heating being on - made it very welcoming. The shower has amazing water pressure and the place isn't cold. The outdoor area is lovely and it was so nice to sit on the deck and watch the sun come up.

I was hoping to have a bath but couldn't work out if I was doing something wrong, or if the mixer had been altered to prevent the bath from being filled (that said, it wasn't a big enough issue for me to ask the hosts about). A slightly bigger fridge would also be really helpful as we couldn't quite fit everything we wanted in there. Overall, still fantastic.

"Nice but cold"

6.0

Location, lovely views, cosy place, nice owner

The place was very cold, a little heater is not enough when you are by the sea....there was another one in the room, still wasn't warm enough plus another heater panel but didn't make the place warm enough, There was no sink where the coffee facilities were. No lights to get down or up the stairs in darkness to access the place. Still it is a beautiful unit,

Spotlessly clean, private and with wonderful views. Fabulous shower with great pressure. Local restaurant was extremely good also. I just wish the weather had been kinder.
