Family time with Nanna
Just such a beautiful location and charming house. We found the lay out and garden perfect for a family group trip to the Bay of Plenty to catch up with Nanna. So relaxing and peaceful. Host where fantastic communicators and so easy to work with as I had to make a few changes as everyone's plans fell into place. We had 4 generations and everyone loved the villa and gardens

Relaxing home
We loved the home. It has everything you need plus more. The stone shower is pretty amazing and the photos don’t do it justice! It’s even better in person. Best part was that we got to enjoy it with our little doggie. Owners are easy to reach and always check in when anything unexpected such as wet weather happens. Will be back :)

We had a great stay for my 30th!
Such a beautiful house and outdoor setting, the images don't do it justice.
It was a perfect place for a low key celebration of my 30th with a group of friends.
Would definitely stay again.
