We were travelling for our honeymoon and we could not have had a better stay! The host greeted us on arrival and the service was exceptional. We were presented with two bottles of wine on arrival and a complimentary gift basket of snacks. We were also upgraded to one of the ocean front villas halfway through our stay. The villas are spacious, modern and well laid out - more than enough space for two couples or a family. We made great use of the pool (and spa in the beachfront villa). The breakfast was delicious - it was delivered to our villa fresh every morning. Both continental and hot food options - which you cook yourself in the kitchen facilities provided in the villa.

The room and outlook over the ocean was amazing. Really enjoyed the private pool

Michael New Zealand

Well it’s going to be a very long list-Rumours was amazing! The property was a fabulous balance of private, spacious and sheltered from that notorious pacific wind. It was well laid out and had all of the things that made a week away in paradise perfect. There was a small set of shops just across the road (including burgers, bakery/cafe, bar, liquor shop, dairy) and a short walk into Muri. Would recommend doing it via beachfront, so much prettier than taking the road.

Lynne New Zealand

It was very comfortable, clean and all was available.

Peter Austria
