Pohutukawa Room

A great place to relax. Lovely setting, very private and peaceful. The Pohutukawa room has it's own kitchenette and a private bathroom outside which was very clean. Breakfast supplied which included cereals and fresh bread with butter and spreads. I would recommend staying here.

PRIVAT GJESTEHUS PÅ ET ROLIG, LITT AVSIDES STED

Privat innkvartering på et rolig, litt avsides sted. Stort komfortabelt rom, med delt bad / WC Frokosten ordner en selv - det samme gjelder opprydding og oppvask etter frokost Flotte strender i nærområdet - ellers er det ikke mye aktivitet. Meget hyggelig og serviceinnstilt eier, som bor i tilstøttende bygg
