Nothing of importance. TV signal didn’t work but the host, Peter, organised a technician to visit on a Sunday to try and sort it out.

Wow. Amazing apartment with lovely views captured by nearly all windows in the apartment.

In very hot weather the lack of air conditioning makes it necessary to have everything open.

The rooms and view are fantastic. Location is lovely and far enough off the beaten track to feel separated and quiet. Opua is much quieter than Paihia and is a 20 min walk. Paihia is a lovely 90 min walk (but do avoid high tide for the last 2km into Paihia unless you’re happy to paddle!). We intentionally didn’t have a hire car and it suited us perfectly.

There was no privacy. We didn’t like being interrupted by the owner throughout our stay. It was unnerving. He came into our space no less than 6 times!! for no reason. He never knocked or announced his intention to come into our space, he just turned up. We felt like he was spying on us. He even creeped up the stairs at 9pm in his pyjamas I was on my own in the lounge and got a huge fright to see him standing there in the dark. He didn’t say anything just stood there. I don’t recommend this place.

the property was set in an idyllic location. You couldn’t fault the location and even on a rainy day the view were exceptional

All good

Location was superb, perhaps adding eggs to breakfast menu would be good

The bathroom needs significant updating, and I would expect a cooked breakfast to the per night rate. It's not great value for money. Didn't like sharing a large table at breakfast espeically as the other guests had come straight off a cruise ship. Covid is still real, and for those who are still cautious, being that close to others at breakfast isn't great. Feather pillows were lovely for me, but my sister is asthmatic, so a choice would have been good.

The view was astounding.. even in the rain. The guest area was very comfortable and well equipped. The towels were huge and fluffy and the bed was so comfortable.

Location was great - fabulous 180deg inlet/sea views. Loved the fresh fruit for breakfast, pineapple, kiwifruit, banana, rhubarb etc., with yoghurt, all bran and toasted muesli. Peter did great poached eggs. There is a good nespresso machine that is available for use, and always fresh fruit any time of day. The lounge upstairs is beautiful with amazing views.

The property boasts some of the most stunning views of any hotel we have visited. There is a comfy, homely feel to the place. The host is an absolute gentleman and his dog is very friendly!

We felt really welcome in Peter’s home. The home is absolutely stunning and immaculate and the views are unparalleled. One of the coolest places we have ever stayed. Peter is a very interesting guy and looks just like Paul Newman. Wish we could have heard more stories from him as it sounds like he has had a very interesting life.

Nothing. Would have loved to have stayed longer!

Exceptional, generous, breakfast. Cereals, fruits, coconut yoghurt, ham, cheese, croissants, toast and plenty of coffee/tea. View from the room was fantastic - all we could have wanted. Gracious host (Peter) who made us feel welcome. Dinner was a special treat, exceptional cooking with fresh ingredients and worth the money. Wines were included in the dinner cost.

Stayed in May 2021

The most magnificent view one could ask for. A homely relaxed atmosphere. Especially like that breakfast is offered as it’s always great to get up and have a relaxing morning and not have to think about going out for breakfast. The host, Peter, is a real gem.

The owner said he hates having people there and regretfully does it for the money. Another thing, the photos show a spa pool.. myfault as i assumed its part of the property. Its not. it's not listed in the amenities but I find that picture very misleading and that photo should be removed.

The owner asked us to leave twice in the first 5 minutes

Stayed in April 2022

as above. we booked breakfast for 9am so went out to main area around 8.50 as we had to leave promptly. Breakfast not started no one around. we waited 5 mins and left as clearly we were not going to get breakfast at 9am. no coffee making facilities in room. bed was roll together limited parking

beautiful views room was small, dated but clean except for the spa bath which blew out sediment into the bath. beautiful house we had the place to ourselves
