Lovely spot, great views and it felt very homely. The beach isn't swimmable really but we got to see whales at one point, and it was super close to swimmable Muri beach. The villa was tidied and refreshed each day and they gave us great advise for places to go to eat and activities. The only problem we had was the office was never attended and when I tried calling them I couldn't get through. Perhaps a doorbell would be helpful as I didn't want to go up to there house and disturb their privacy. Again, lovely hosts when they were available, they gave us snorkeling gear to borrow too. Highly recommend!

Kia Orana Tracy and familyIt was lovely having you all stay with us, and we miss seeing the children swimming in the pool each day. Sorry about our office not being attended each day, we are such a small property with just the two of us manning it, we are more than happy for guest to come up stair as I actually run my office from here and we are mostly around somewhere on the property or leave our phone number on the notice board if we are out. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with your two adorable little boys, all the best for the remainder of the year, Merry Xmas and Happy new year, Kia Manuia from Michele & Svein
