About the host
Hosted by Sarah, Searle
Local from five generations of our family, we know most things about the area but particularly about the river, harbour and the beach. Happy to help as little or as much as you would like.
Why they chose this property
What we enjoy most is being able to watch the river and have a quiet space with open outlook over the back, we love Te Kopuru as a timewarp of New Zealand, nothing much changes here.
What makes this property unique
the view, the view, the view, and also the peace and serenity
