Luxurious, beautiful, exciting, delightful
Pros:

Breakfast was not required or provided. This was an absolutely fantastic cabin. It was tastefully and subtly decorated with interesting pictures and pots. But the feeling was clean, neutral and minimal - very relaxing to be in. Also, the view down to the valley from the balcony was incredible and panoramic. Tropical woodland on both sides. So thoughtfully equiped with everything we could have wished for. Thank you so much.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing. Our hosts had thought of everything.

Everything else was up to expectation.
Cons:

Blinking lights on wall alarm all night and paper thin insulation from people residing above us. Could hear their every step.

Beautiful, modern and clean accomodation. Loved the grounds with the native bush.
Pros:

Was super clean, modern and comfortable. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice getaway. Everything was new and beds and bedding were super comfortable. Grounds were tidy and loved the campfire idea of we had more time. The surrounding bush and views were all beautiful.

Cons:

Loved the accomodation the only down side is it was on the pricey side if we were to stay longer.

Gorgeous private place to relax
Pros:

Great location, spacious and comfortable one bed suite, very private and as it was the weekend it was quiet. Fabulous views. Good laundry facilities. Gorgeous crockery & glasses etc…..Netflix was complementary Definitely need a car to stay there! Would love to return on another trip to NZ. Some of the nicest meals we’ve had in the area too!!

Cons:

There is a lot of building work going on around the area and on site which didn’t disturb us at all but I’m sure it could be noisy! The check in was easy with a lock box but we thought we would have our towels/bathroom refreshed after 2 nights but didn’t happen. Maybe we were supposed to book this but didn’t seem clear on the booking.
This didn’t spoil our stay but thought it was worth mentioning on a review.

Perfect relaxing stay mixing bush & beach life.
Pros:

We loved everything about our stay at Tui & Nikau despite the ongoing renovation work. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, comfortable and even brought us chocolate from the local factory to apologise for the noise.

The premises were clean, new and well equipped. It was conveniently located 5 mins away from a supermarket and 10 mins away from the beach.

It had a lovely calming bush feeling. While the rooms could get hot, AC was easily available. The little kitchenette had everything you need for light cooking.

We are definitely coming back!
