Host Review Score
Our Property is an upmarket stand alone fully self contained two bedroom unit. It is built right beside the river mouth and the Okari tidal lagoon. Amazing birdlife and sunsets from right out the door. Penguins can be heard at night . This is a purpose built accommodation built to provide five star facilities in an amazing setting. Even though this is listed as an apartment it is much more than that. Its your own little house set in an idyllic setting that you wont want to leave.
George and Jennifer Brownlee. Farmers of large dairy farm as part of the location . George and Jennifer go out of their way to be friendly and helpful with lots of little treats left for guests.
Lots of birdlife and the water right at the doors edge. This lovely unit is part of a working dairy farm. Lingalonga is part of this but it is also very private.
