Wow! All the special touches on top of an already perfect accommodation! We felt well cared for, like old friends. The extra large soaker tub was well appreciated after hiking the Abel Tasman. Quiet, despite being next to the road, with lovely little private patio and garden. Short stroll along the river to the grocery for dinner makings. Couldn't have been better.

This property was was exceptional in every way and Caroline welcomed us most warmly upon arrival after a long day’s driving. Small welcoming details such fresh milk, eggs and some goodies in the fridge were much appreciated by us, and the whole loft was beautifully appointed and very comfortable. It was peaceful with stunning vistas from every window, and very easily accessible to all of the activities that we wanted to do each day. Caroline popped over and gave us some fantastic suggestions for things to do locally and how to get there and this made our stay all that more special. There is plenty of wardrobe and storage space so we were able to put our suitcases out of sight and enjoy not tripping over them every 5 minutes..a real treat when travelling! The shower water was steaming hot, the mattress perfect and the kitchen well provisioned. We even had our own delightful parking area near to the loft. We were very sad to leave when the time came. Thank you Caroline for making it so special in every way.

    Room to move in accommodation. Sky tv gave great entertainment options, lots of activities (some free) for the kids, beds comfy, clean, and super great staff... nothing was a problem and all service with a smile. Totally worth the trip and i will definitely book again. Great place for families. So close to everything including fishing at the beach. Kids loved the activities on offer. Thanks for an awesome holiday!

    Our whole family group could all stay together and the house was set up well for large groups. Having 2 bathrooms was excellent! We had an event at the conference centre so it was very convenient being able to stay right next door to it. Lots for kids to do around the area too.

    House was very clean .. perfect for what we needed. With small children the doors had locks up top that the kids couldn't reach so no worries they would run outside & onto the road. There was 7 of us 2 adults 16, 10, 6 & 4yo twins. We had alot of space & it wasn't confined. Loved it .. self checkin was super easy, Host was Absolutely brilliant with contact & replys.

    It was clean, tidy & it was a two bedroom apartment which suited our family. We booked quite short notice for a wedding we had on. The hotel was very central and close to everything. The school park across the road was a bonus for our small children.
