Amazing property, designed with so much attention to detail. The property is beautifully appointed. I don’t often spend free time (when I’m not working) at rental properties, but truly enjoyed relaxing in the spaces at the Oaktree House. They are stunning, comfortable and well thought out. The large windows and doors opened up to make you feel like you were outside. The hosts provide so much more than other properties. The Nespresso machine with the frother made delicious coffee. There was a lovely basket of fruit and some candies on the counter. The host was prompt and helpful in responding to questions too. I wish I could have stayed longer but will return if it’s available again next time. What a gem!

What a delight! This B&B is just on the edge of the town but is a world away, in a quiet garden setting. Immaculate presentation of rooms, garden and breakfast area. High quality linens, toiletries and nice little touches like robes and complimentary welcome drink in the fridge. Bed was comfortable and the shower hot. Bathroom is compact but it's not like we needed to be in there often! Breakfast was top notch with cooked or lighter options available. Our hosts were so welcoming, explaining the B&B, it's facilities and giving us great advice on dining out and sightseeing options. But, they were never intrusive. The apartment itself is completely self contained and separate to the house so you can interact as little or as much as you like. There is a separate lounge area, beside the apartment, for the exclusive use of apartment guests. The B&B is eco friendly, making sure that all products used are low impact and garden friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or stay again. Great value and a welcome respite from living out of a suitcase.

    Paulina has created magic place for her guests. It is really nice, cozy villa with unique character. Our room was extremally clean, spacious and comfortable with lovely outdoor space, direct access to garden and beautiful view. This place is also in handy location, you can easily walk to city center. We stayed for 3 nights and for sure we will come back.

    This a stunning holiday home with all of the rooms giving a sensational view over Tasman Bay. The facilities were excellent, the bed comfortable. We stayed in the "Main Deck" and the driveway is a bit of challenge, but definitely well worth it.

    Beautiful holiday home- amazing views of the ocean - so handy to beach. Great facilities- a group of 4 women who each had their own room & bathroom - we all rated this as 5+ accommodation. Amazing to wake up to the stunning view & watch the sun set in the evenings.
