Lovely modern guest house; very comfortable, private and stylish with gorgeous views of the garden and beyond. Lots of nice touches from our host who was very friendly and charming.
We had a lovely stay at Gill’s place. The house was clean and extremely well equipped—perfect for a relaxing holiday. Waipu Cove beach and the café were just a one-minute drive away, which was very convenient. The garden was absolutely gorgeous; you could easily lose track of time just enjoying it. I highly recommend Gill’s place.
Wonderful A definitely a fantastic place to stay !! Highly recommended just perfect and our dog enjoyed the space to run around in. We loved every second Thank you so much !
Very welcoming, super patient with our 10month old puppy - very well kept property, private, 2 mins from Waipu cove. Friendly host. Clean and Luxurious.
Gill provides a home away from home. She has provided so many thoughtful touches that really made our stay super comfortable. From a coffee machine to a small pantry of staples, she has thought of everything!The gardens are breathtaking. We made special memories toasting marshmallows at the fire pit and when the sun made an appearance we made the most of the pool. The house is positioned among nature but within a short drive of the beach. I hope we will visit again. Thanks so much Gilk.
We loved the setting of this beautiful holiday home. Use of the swimming pool was fantastic and the private spa was great for enjoying the views. Gardens, native bush and swimming hole were wonderful. We had a very relaxing stay.
Incredible views, just so relaxing and restful :)
Lovely set up, everything you need for a fantastic holiday Loved the spa and bush walks! Highly recommend to others
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay
This was our second visit, bringing friends to enjoy this beautiful tranquil spot and home away from home.
It was great to meet Gill the lovely host who makes it even more special.
Will definitely be back :)
We loved our stay at this property. The garden, spa and fire pit were our highlights but everything else was amazing too. Beautiful bathrooms, comfy beds, a fully stocked kitchen with all the latest gadgets. Snacks on arrival. A perfect stay thank you.
We had an amazing week in this stunning spot made all the more amazing because we could bring our pup. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable. We will definitely be back.
We are a couple with a little wire-haired dachshund and loved our stay. The property is secure and private with a delightful garden. The attractive accommodation had everything we could have wished for. A family crisis cut our stay short, but we will definitely be returning.
Well stocked and scenery to die for. I already miss waking up to the birds and having my coffee outside with the view of the gardens.
Can’t wait to come back!
