A quiet location providing easy access to Orewa. The house had everything we needed and more. Ie was spotless and comfortable. Sadly we only booked one night. We would happily stay again and for a longer period. Sharon was helpful at all times.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage as it was clean, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped, and a large dining table and a spacious but cozy lounge. We slept very well in a king-size bed with a firm mattress. Also lovely views from the deck in a scenic and quiet neighborhood.

We loved this peaceful place, a short drive to the shops. It was clean and tidy with all we needed in the kitchen. I liked using the water filter and reading some of the many books. Sharon is a great host, friendly and replies promptly. Thanks for our stay!
