This is typically what our guests say; “Fabulous Location and just how much room there was, it truly was value for money” Krissy, New Zealand “How beautiful and serene the property was. The hosts were amazing and considerate. The kids absolutely loved it. They hung out on the lawn and discovered the garden. Our stay was way too short.” Hiba, New Zealand This apartment is spacious and sleeps 6 people comfortably. What guests absolutely love is the spacious light, airy apartment. The garden offers a perfect place to sit and relax and simply enjoy the peaceful nature.
