Amazing location

Such a clean and comfortable studio! Really appreciated all the special touches. We were staying for a swim competition and Kathy even set aside extra beach towels for us, though we didn't end up needing them. We loved our stay and the location is perfect. We hope to return again!

The studio unit is well set up and the owners are friendly and welcoming but not ‘in your face’. The bottle of wine, milk and chocolate in the fridge on check in were very welcome. Within walking distance of the beach and shops this is a great little place to stay. There is also a parking space in front of the garage for the person staying in the unit.

Nice little studio, great location.

Nice little studio apartment on the ground floor of the house. Lots of light due to the large windows looking out to the well treed garden. Five minute walk to the beach and a small shopping/restaurant area. All your conveniences are within walking distance. Kathy is a great host and Hec, thanks for the tip about the Duke in Russell!

Great stay

Cathy was very kind to let us check in early as soon as the studio was ready. Studio has everything you would need. We were also able to pick some feijoas and enjoyed them on the deck out in the sun. The sofa bed is cosy as well for the kids.The linen and bedding Cathy provides is of high quality and she also provided is with a bottle of sauv and chocolates. Parking for 1 vehicle is also available. On checkout day we met with both Cathy and Hec and had a good yarn. Very nice couple and highly recommend staying in the Studio. Cathy and Hec are very down to earth and it was a pleasure staying at their property.

Lovely wee studio

We had a lovely time at this tranquil oasis! Really loved the attention to detail, eg crisp bed linen, everything provided (even mosquito repellent!) We bought an infant and owners were so accommodating by providing a portacot, highchair and bath. Very clean and tidy. Lovely, friendly hosts. Would stay here again! Thanks so much Kathy and Hec for your hospitality.
