It wasn’t as clean as I would have liked. The bed was not comfortable in the main living area. Little useful space on the kitchen counter.

It was very attractive. It had the kind of space I needed for visiting and sleeping.

Perfect location, 20 metres to Orewa Beach. Amazing courtyard, lovely decor, very quiet. Rufus very friendly little dog, as we're the owners. Great weekend stay to get away from the hustle and bustle of Auckland, just a short drive, to peace and tranquility. Would stay again.

Not being able to securely separate our accommodation from the unit upstairs was strange. The kitchen is tiny with limited cooking facilities which may be fine for a night or two but for a week it was a little difficult. The provision of a small gas barbecue on the deck for guests use would really help.

The location is wonderful, just yards from the beach. The courtyard and deck are really great, and such a bonus.

Advertised as breakfast included, it wasn't. No internet for tv, like Netflix etc.

Great location, nice accommodation, nice hosts

Only 1 normal queen bed others were children beds low n uncomfortable. Internet stopped working 2 day we were there. Breakfast had been discontinued lucky we had enough food for breakfast as well. New owners but we were not advised of the changes Quiet disappointed

Location great. Hosts really nice

The small beds were not the most comfortable, also not being able to lock the bathroom was fine as I was traveling with family, but if that were not the case it would not be ideal. Also there was no way to completely separate the space from the upstairs.

Location was perfect! The sound of the sea was calming, courtyard was beautiful.

The beach it's a great way to walk in to the restaurant and shopping area.

Nothing!

Very close to the beach. Beautiful private courtyard with pretty flowers and convenient outdoor shower. Had everything you would need for a comfortable stay with very friendly hosts!

Everything you need for a relaxed stay. Almost on the beach 😁 Very friendly, helpful owners

We got an extra perk of some home baking which was delicious! The hosts were extremely friendly and were available if we needed anything, which we didn't.

Television a bit small but no big deal

Fantastic location with everything you needed available, easy parking, enjoy an easy walk along the beach to shops.

Misleading information on booking.com about bedrooms. One very small single linked by bathroom to bed in lounge. Expensive for what was offered- eg we stayed in others with 2 proper bedrooms both with en suite, lounge etc plus breakfast for considerably less per night.

Near beach. Nice courtyard

Stayed in March 2023

The accommodation is in desperate need of a declutter and renovation. There is no soundproofing, so you can hear the movements upstairs, and it didn't feel very private. We think it was very overpriced and should be cheaper to reflect its current state.

We liked the location and the hosts were nice.

I knocked on the door. No-one was there. I found a number and rang. The hosts answered and told me where to find the key. Not told of this until I rang!! No hospitality. Huge wooden beams at gate on the ground. Had to move them to get my bag through. I am 63. Not acceptable- ANYWHERE. Electric blanket and light unplugged FAR under the bed. had to lie on my stomach to sort this one out. Gritty feel of dust on outside chairs. Thread-bare drying cloths. Cheap toilet paper (for a boutique dwelling). No MILK provided. No extension lead so that I could use my hot brush near a mirror. Soap dispenser in bathroom did not work. So disappointed.

The location ONLY!!. Had been there 3 times before with previous owners. Very disappointed this time around with new owners.

Everything was pretty much perfect

Wonderful location ....I could hear the ocean as I relaxed in the beautiful courtyard garden .

Stayed in February 2024

Nothing. Perfect

Everything. Super comfortable and very well equipped. You would have to try very hard to find somewhere nicer. Dave & Linley are lovely people too. Loved sitting out in the courtyard.

I really can not fault this venue.

I can not praise this venue enough.To hosts Dave & Linley you are exceptional.We need more people like you in the hospitality industry. Either a short walk or drive to dining & shopping. Right on the beach.

Stayed in November 2023

The owners, David and Linley, are delightful and were very helpful with recommendations on restaurants and hiking trails. Very classy people!

I can't fault anything.

We loved the location, close to the beach, shopping center, restaurants, and our host were very friendly .we loved that it was quite and very private. The court yard was lovely really spacious for visitors,best of all outdoor shower, and out door washing lines for when you come back from the beach, love it.
