“Different words “
These guys have amazing properties. Soon you enter the drive it feels like you are in different country. The decor and the building are absolutely stunning. Quit old school European/ Mediterranean vibes. Definitely going back just to stay. For those travelling from out of town or country. Beach is absolutely beautiful great fishing swimming 10/10.

A disconnect from the outside world.
An amazing concept artfully executed. Property was up for sale during our stay and we could see some renovations were underway. We wish the current owners the best on where ever their road takes them, but look forward to new owners making their mark and starting a new chapter for this little oasis.

Pleasant, relaxed and quirky
We loved the quirky, arty ambience and laid back vibe. Set back from the beach, it was a sheltered and secure spot to stay with carport, very handy. We loved our walks to and from the beach and, of course, general store for morning coffee. About 30 mins by car to Havelock North, it was a great place to really get away from it. Lots of swims and long walks along the beach - brill’. Thank you Marina and George for a lovely relaxing stay. Best wishes for 2023 :)

Absolutely stunning
We loved out stay at the property. The kitchen has all the utensils etc. that you need. The hammock was awesome. On fine days we made breakfast and sat out on the deck watching the butterflies and listening to the birds. George and Marina are such lovely people and easily contactable if needed. It was the perfect space for the end of our honeymoon.

High in the Birdsnest.
We really enjoyed the artistry and creativity of the bach, with regards colour scheme and design. Had most of the amenities we needed. One criticism : in summer it gets far to hot to be comfortable, especially in the bedroom. At least TWO large.desktop fans are needed. Other than that we would highly recommend this property.

Relaxing getaway in beautiful surroundings
Lovely quirky property set in beautiful surroundings and only a quick walk away from the beach. If you want a nice setting where you can get away from it all, this is the place for you! Met George and the cats who were all very friendly! Would definitely like to come back here again and spend more time relaxing!

Christmas break
The property was very much as it looked online. It is quirky. I had a lot of interaction with George the owner and he was very pleasant and helpful, with lots of local knowledge. It was our first break away for over a year and it suited us very well. To be honest, it may have been a little small for a long term stay like ours (2 weeks) but for a short stay of a couple of days it would be great. In saying that, we both came back refreshed and tanned!
