    Felt couch should be opposite the TV, rather than the table, but not an issue, as we never watched it.

    Everything. It was peaceful, comfortable and quiet. My sisters and I got together following the passing away of my younger sister's husband. The location was wonderful and the ambience was great. Just what we needed.

    Great wonderful property surrounded by beautiful nature.

    Nothing that was too bad about the stay. Just something which we thought could have been a little more convenient - having a wash sink in the living hall where all the utensils and the tea tray were. Would have been easier to wash it off directly instead of taking it to the bathroom and carrying them out to dry it in the sun. Although, we would have liked for a dishwasher to be accessible to us.

    Great location and overall a perfect getaway for someone who wants to have a peaceful stay surrounded by nature. We had a great time there and appreciated the beautiful garden the homestay surrounds itself with. Very graceful owners too and were very kind to provide a generous breakfast that included fresh fruits from the garden.

    The cleanliness, the quality of the furnishings, the imaginative decor, the beauty of the outlook over the Harbour, the generous breakfast, fruit bowl and bottle of wine. This is marvelous place to stay. Many thanks to our hosts.

    I didn't like that we had to leave, I would have loved to stay for a few more days, it is a lucky dip when you book properties unseen, and we hit the jackpot with this property. I loved everything. Also, the decor was beautiful, and also well thought out and the polished cement floors with underfloor heating delightful.

    The breakfast was lovely and well thought out. It was a continental breakfast, and we had yogurt and Bircher and a variety of breads were verry nice. The view was amazing, and we went for a walk through the beautiful, manicured gardens and met the gardener and her lovely dog. The host Sharon was kind enough to lend us her treasured Ibanez guitar and we were able to play a few songs. It was lovely. We watched the sunrise from our bed and the sky was red and pink and the water and headlands glistened in the morning light. It was absolutely delightful, and I could not be happier. When I return to Mt Manganui and Omakoroa (?) I will definitely stay at this property again; it is simply beautiful and peaceful. I am writing a book, and I may return soon to this property to continue it as it inspired me so much. Thank you, Sharon, for your beautiful and welcoming hospitality we are forever grateful. Also, we dropped an expensive cable on the driveway on the way out when we were leaving and Sharon sent it to us at no charge. Only people resonating at the most beautiful frequencies do such things and people like us, appreciate such things immensely.

    Very thin walls, could hear the hosts abd their television. I'm sure they could hear us and our noisy kids too. Only issue but not a big deal. Inside voices and all that!

    Light, airy, beautiful view and also warm, cozy and surprisingly spacious. Love the styling, the furnishings and the underfloor heating!

    A tap or a small hand basin in the dining area would be perfect. Drinking water is to be taken from the tap in the bathroom sink and dishwashing is supposed to be done in the bathroom vanity sink as well.

    Lovely location. Gorgeous views and proximity to the harbour. The hosts were gracious and very prompt and pleasant in responding to the requests. Lovely breakfast and a very classy accomodation. I think the pictures do not do justice to how beautiful the room itself was.

    Nothing really to complain about. everything was great. One thing to note though is that the flat is lacking a proper kitchenette although all the appliances are in the place. So that might be not that convenient if you like to cook yourselves. So do support locals and eat out :)

    That was the one of the best places in terms of service we experienced in NZ. Hosts were brilliant, not obtrusive yet keen to assist and help. The flat was awesome spacious bedrooms and cozy lounge opening to the bay. Stunning views surrounded by a beautifully manicured garden and accompanied by bird songs.
