“This was a perfect private idyll with barely any travel time to get there!”
It was a little private slice of heaven. The decor the perfect was eclectic mix of ultra modern and retro recycled pieces. It was cosy yet super spacious. I would definitely return as soon as we can! The information book was great and restaurant recommendations too notch. Wish we could have stayed longer.

“Top Tier”
Everything! I didn't want to leave. I highly recommend the stay. It's relaxing, clean, and vibey! What topped it off was checking in with music playing. The speakers had great bass, and Alexa is so convenient to have. I used the spa as much as I could. Everything was perfect and top tier. I would choose this place over a 5 star hotel any time. Thank you!

“It was romantic, classy, clean, spacious, and perfect for what we wanted.”
The hosts were easy to contact. The accommodation was beautiful. Loved the music playing when we arrived. Appreciated the clear information and instructions that were prepared for gusets. Was an absolutely appropriate stay for a romantic get away. Loved the beer bar, TV and entertainment options, and spa. Couldn't fault anything.

“Fantastic short/long stay accommodation, close to Kumeu & Riverhead. 30-40mins to AKL airport/city.”
The suitability of the location depends on the guest/s. For me, I wanted somewhere close to Kumeu Retirement Village but also close to family at Riverhead, and handy to the motorway. It ticked all my boxes. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. Everything was clean and in good working order.
