The welcome and general friendliness of the hosts. The property is in a lovely spot with all the amenities needed for a short to medium stay. The outside area is also very relaxing, which was the exact reason I wanted to come.

This is a fabulous property. Clean,tidy and with all the amenities you could want for a relaxing break away. Barbara and Stanley are the perfect hosts who go out of the way to make sure that your every wish is catered for. The location is isolated with stunning scenery close by and within easy walking distance to a fantastic beach - which you will have pretty much all to yourself.

This place was one of the greatest rentals i have had the chance to stay at. It was clear that the property was a labour of love as all the small little details had clearly been thought throigh and meticulously considered. The hosts were lovely on arrival and departure but we never celt intruded upon.

Awhitu get away

Very nice property and ideal for what we wanted. Aircraft caught us a little by surprise, but we should have worked that out ourselves. Didn't disturb us.

We are so pleased you liked Awhitu Zen. Perhaps you missed the reference in the listing regarding the planes, however we are very happy to hear they didn’t disturb you.
