Large family house with amazing views
Wonderful large property in quiet surroundings, with incredible views. Walking distance to village pub/diner. Access to the headland walkway and some great climbing a 2 minute walk from the house. We all loved it.

Great stay
Beautiful house and the view is amazing. Well equiped house and perfect location. Would recommend to everyone. Had a bit of an issue with wifi so the young people of our group were a bit bent out of shape. Brilliant stay overall 🙂

Spacious family home with glorious views
Ideal for a large family group as there are 2 living areas and two bathrooms. A nice walk down to the habour where there are bars and a cafe. Beds were really comfortable and towels and sheets etc were excellent quality.

Amazing views - beautiful home
Great base for exploring Diamond Harbour, Banks Peninsula, Lyttelton and Quail Island. We did heaps of walks and enjoyed being able to watch family members water ski in Pūrau Bay from the balcony. The house is comfortable and very well set up. Plenty of room for extended family whose ages stretched from nine to 84. We were able to have a quiet zone downstairs for those wanting to read and relax and there was space for us all to be together in the one area as well when wanted.
