“The place had everything our whānau needed for a week long stay, eveeything was easy, parking, beach”
This place had everything our whānau needed for a week-long stay. Everything was easy—parking and beach access were fantastic, and there were some lovely local spots nearby. The house was cozy and welcoming, with plenty of different areas for a family of nine to relax and enjoy.

“Very affordable, well set up and comfortable accommodation with lovely host.”
full house on the beach that had everything we needed. The accommodation provided kayaks, snorkels and lots of reef shoes. The set up was great for our family with lots of space and we used the beach equipment daily. the local dogs were an extra bonus. We did have a car but there was lots close by too.

“A little piece of paradise”
The housekeeper (Rosana) was outstanding. She was welcoming, helpful and had the studio cleaned to a high standard. I also liked the fact that the studio was in a great location, close to the beach and a small supermarket (a 20-minute walk away). The resident dogs (particularly Yuppy) and the cats were an added bonus and gave a homely feel to the holiday home.

The views, the accommodation, the location and directions were so simple. The dogs and cat were the icing on the cake for our animal loving family.

“An amazing location. Would highly recommend”
Loved the location. Our unit was super tidy and the host had really good communication and instructions in finding the accommodation as well as the keys for our unit. Rosanna was incredibly helpful when we needed something as well. Would highly recommend!

“Great for families, clean, tidy, on the beach and close to the best eateries & snorkeling spots!”
Great location, close to lots of great places to eat, swim, snorkel and drink cocktails. Clean, tidy and great to be on the beach. Good for families with small kids, little swimming spot in the lagoon out front, kayaks, snorkels available etc. Would be awesome if the rocks were moved so the small swimming spot was bigger. If everyone moves some it will be awesome in a years time!

“Perfect 6 night stay”
Raewyn has been such a good host during our stay. We felt so welcomed. We loved the little studio we had and the close proximity to the beach. There are also some dinner and breakfast/lunch options around that are reachable within a short walking distance. However for exploring the island we were happy to have a car to be more flexible. On the premises there was drinking water available which was perfect.

“Raewyn's Relaxing P iece of Heaven”
Friendly, very informative and most helpful and kind host. Informed us of all the lovely activities on the island. Large, extremely clean home to fit a large family comfortably. Parking space available onsite. Lovely to have kayaks at your doorstep and lovely loungers on the sand in front of the home. Great deck upstairs and downstairs with plenty seating space overlooking the beautiful ocean. Barbecue was awesome to have. The ocean at your doorstep and hearing the waves at night, while falling asleep was so relaxing. There was mesh in front of windows and fans to keep you cool at night. Having dishwasher and a washing machine in the home was wonderful and also having 2 bathrooms for a large family was wonderful too. It was within walking distance on the beach to restaurants and a shop across the road to purchase groceries. There were larger shops nearby to purchase groceries and alcohol.
