Our second visit and we had another brilliant weekend. We made good use of the stunning gardens and had a packed lunch down at the pond with the very vocal frogs! Nice spa under the stars followed by hot chocolate in-front of the outdoor fire. Excellent communication from owners.

About the host

Hosted by SHERYLV1

Host profile image
Old sports people who have played everything. We needed a new challenge which this property provided. We wanted to make a safe, tranquil environment for couples to come and really reconnect and recharge. Our feedback seems to say that we have succeeded in this.
Having come from a stressful corporate background myself, to find a place to take "time out" was paramount. Now sharing it with others is a unique experience, and mutually beneficial.

Why they chose this property

A childhood dream was to have a lifestyle block to grow my own fruit and veges with chooks and furry friends. We have a unique "getaway" and the most pleasure we have is to be able to share this with guests. We came upon this property while it was still in Pine forest. Watching it being felled whilst out cycling. It was a complete bomb site trees debris, stumps, rocks and pinecones. To transform it into my dream has been the best thing we have ever achieved. Looking down at the twinkling sea over the mess was enough to realise "this was the place"...Now with our plantings the native birdlife is returning. Big fat pheasants, wood pigeon, bellbirds, fantails, quail, Tui, friendly ducks etc etc. There is an abundance of fruit and nuts on our trees and we are living the dream.

What makes this property unique

Close to Napier's famous walkways and cycle ways. Stunning views. Peace and quiet to recharge the batteries from the drain of "life" these days. Also close to several top class wineries. The Mission, Church Road, Crab Farm, Linden Estate, Sacred Hill, to name a few.
