Guest Reviews
LOVED the view and the verandah to sip a glass of wine overlooking the bay. The accommodation had everything we needed and was retro yet cosy and comfortable. We had a very comprehensive check-in and felt right at home straight away.
Only the small shower head really....but it was fine and there was good pressure & plenty of hot water.
The hosts, property v views are all exceptional. Couldn’t be bettered!
Just loved it!

The place was spotlessly clean, well appointed, comfortable, had stunning views and as the name implies was a real retreat
Nothing
Beautiful view, secluded and quiet. Jo and Marcel were very welcoming and helpful. Nothing was any trouble, even gave us a lift to the supermarket to pick up some shopping, to save us cycling there. Very well equipped.
Tout: la gentillesse de Marcel et Jo, leurs bons conseils, la vue époustouflante, la propreté.
Rien, c’était parfait
Amazing View in Elevated Spot
Little bit further from town than expected
Fantastic views from the balcony and very peaceful
Shower was a bit small
Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber ! Wir haben ein Upgrade bekommen ( vielen Dank) und unser Apparment war traumhaft mit Meerblick ! Es ist eine Wohlfühloase !!!! Wir haben diesen Aufenthalt sehr genossen !!!
Es war alles TRAUMHAFT !!!
Great view, amazingly helpful host, basic but comfortable unit.
Shower wasn’t great,
The view was beautiful and the location was extremely peaceful and quiet, tucked into nature with only the sound of cicadas in the surrounding bush.
The unit was very clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.
It is a 5 min drive over the hill from popular eateries in Paihia but well worth the short drive for a peaceful and comfortable night's rest.
We loved having a glass of wine on the deck overlooking the ocean before heading out for dinner.
Superb views, a bit out of the way, so very quiet. The owner was very friendly and very helpful. We had the smallest unit, but probably the best views.
It suited us perfectly.
Nothing for us to dislike.
A beautiful and tranquil place
The retreat is beautifully designed to support rest, reflection and reconnection. Surrounded by the natural beauty it felt like a sanctuary away from the busyness of everyday life. Jo and Marcel are exceptional hosts, their warmth, generosity and genuine presence made all the difference, they go above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable and memorable. This retreat is a rare and beautiful place, we left feeling rested, refreshed and deeply grateful for the hospitality. A truly wonderful place we would wholeheartedly recommend.
