So close to a fabulous beach
What a fabulous beach with access along a dune walkway from the driveway - right opposite Whale/Moutohora Island. Lee-Anne’s studio was spotless, with a very comfortable bed and great shower. Perfect for our dog too with its small fenced garden. The photos don’t do it justice.

Perfect haven
A wonderful peaceful haven for my partner and myself plus our cavoodle Molly to unwind , fish , walk along the beach, relax , and just be. A very short walk to the beach , a beautifully presented unit with everything you need for cooking if you want to. Leanne and Gary were attentive and wonderful hosts and the neighbours all very friendly. We will return. Highly recommend. Can’t fault our stay. Excellent value for money also.
It was a great little spot and the room was clean and well maintained. Unfortunately, we didnt stay long enough! Definitely recommend! The beach nearby was fantastic!

Beautiful Location
Our stay was great. The accommodations were lovely. Very clean and tidy. Friendly Host. Beautiful upscale quiet neighborhood. Literally a minute's walk from the beach. 8 min drive to shops and restaurants in town centre. All facilities for cooking your own meals if you wanted to. We had breakfast daily on site, had lunch and dinner in town. All up, a really comfortable relaxing stay.

Comfortable dog-friendly retreat by the sea
A very clean, quiet and comfortable unit in an excellent location. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog and walk her along the beach. Despite a very stormy weather event we were able to retreat to the comfort of the house. Highly recommended.
