Romantic spot,Stunning views
Posted 20 Jun 2016Perfect romantic getaway with Everything you need. Secluded yet still close enough to all the amazing vineyards. Stayed in a few places on the island and this place is definitely up there. Not rediculously priced either which is refreshing. Will be back!

Nice and private surrounded by excellent scenaries
Posted 27 Jan 2016
Pros: Everything apart from the hot situation
Cons: Install heat-pump or at least install screens on doors and windows so they can be opened without insects bothering residents.
Location: Actually I used my car so didn't find difficulties to move around
The one room apartment is excellent very well furniture and very clean. Excellent kitchen facilities and staff very nice and helpful. The backyard is beautifully set with fantastic surrounding bush, enjoying view, and very private! Yet, it was very hot so a cooling system may be needed to think of. Or less expensive solution, install screens on doors and windows so they can be opened without insects bothering residents. Overall rating is 4.5

Thank you for your feedback. I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed everything about your stay apart from the temperature. I am pleased that you have brought this to our attention. Up until this point, a fan seemed to have been sufficient. So we are now exploring the feasibility of installing a air conditioning unit in the cottage which will help with the heating situation going forward. Many thanks once again. All the very best,

Highly recommend this accommodation
Posted 22 Oct 2015 on HotelsWell appointed accommodation in a stunning location. Lovely and peaceful - but not far to drive to the shops, wineries, cafes etc. Really appreciated the free wi-fi. Would definitely book here again. Recommend to all whom are looking for a relaxing, peaceful environment.

Awesome place
Posted 12 Oct 2015 on Wotif
Pros: Breathtaking views, surrounded by bush, privacy
Cons: Wider cleaning service could be offered
Location: Wineries close by. Secluded location means you will need a car on the island
We were pleasantly surprised with the amazing view we saw when we first entered the cottage. Beautiful bush surrounds the cottage so we were greeted with the sound of tuis nearby. The cottage is very modern with everything you could need.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the stunning sea views, peaceful and tranquil surroundings. The photos never seem to quite capture the beauty of the place, so most guests comment on how much better the views are. As a standard offering, when guests depart, cleaners spend several hours cleaning the cottage to a 5* standard. As a standard we do not offer cleaning service during guests stay, but we are more than happy to accommodate such request (at a cost) if guests would like this level of service.
