Lovely spot near the beach in a quiet woodland area. Had a great welcome, including Mojo the dog who was very excited! A lovely little cabin with outside kitchen and seating area which was perfect for us to chill out in.

Quirky Woods is a charming and quaint property. My room had the basics, it was warm and comfortable. There was a short 1min walk to amenities, and a nice shared kitchen. In my eyes the whole place was awesome. Charlotte and Simon were lovely down to earth people. They have their 1 year old Great Dane puppy Mojo who made me not, miss my own dog as much. A very quiet and peaceful place, surrounded by beaches, the ocean and beautiful scenery. I would definitely go back again.

Heather, New Zealand

Beautiful place to relax n the sun. Quiet and the host were awesome lovely people and their dogs was awesome too.. we will be going bak for more relaxn weekends often :)

Joey, New Zealand

Natural surroundings, beautiful scenery, awesome hosts! This is definitely a place to stay when you need time away from a busy work schedule and demands of life. Everything is here, including the manaaki (hospitality). We choose to host an ordination retreat for our ordinands here and they loved every moment they had with the internal and external features of Quirky Woods. Nice eating area open to nature, good cooking facilities, clean and tidy washing areas, shower and toilet area. Embrace the walks if you have time, soak up the sun and all that nature has to offer!! Short walks to popular areas of interest. Love the lemons that are only a hop and skip away form the eating area!! Love it!! We will be back! Thanks to the Hosts - oh and Mojo!
