“The spa was amazing. Property had a lot of space which was ideal for a group of people. Love the scenery and the extra house in the bush was lovely.”
Liz - 22 September 2024
“Cool little spot nestled in the trees making it very private. Great communication with the host. Had a small issue with the toilet but host sent someone to fix it in a timely manner and then gave us a late checkout for any inconvenience caused. Loved the spa pool and great to have sky sport to watch the rugby on.”

“Overall it was great , spa was great rooms clean and tidy. We enjoyed our stay , it was very peaceful and loved the layout.”

“This is a great place to stay if you are with a group of people, its a short walk to some of the beaches. The neighbours are supper friendly just like all the locals we came across, the accommodation is private and the little cabin nestled in the bush was awesome as that's the sort of thing i would normally book.
On a nice day there's nothing better than sitting on the deck listening to the birds in the native bush, the addition of the spa makes it even better, the kitchen is fairly well equipped which meant we didn't really eat out, we just enjoyed sitting on the deck eating and having a great time.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get away from it all.”

“'House is awesome for a group. Sunny and stunning.' ”
Carrie Feb 2020 10/10 rating
“We were in a group of 7 and spent 4 days at the house . It’s in a very good location only a 5 mins from the main hub of oneroa town, and halfway between all the best beaches and wineries (majority of places were less than 10 mins drive). The main house has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and is perfect for entertaining, with a very open space. The 4th bedroom and 2nd bathroom is in a separate space down a little trail 30m from the main house. Overall we had a great stay at the house. Thanks”

“This is a really lovely, well presented holiday home. It is very comfortably appointed and sitting on the spacious deck is so peaceful and relaxing. Although it does not have water views, the beach is only a few minutes away, and the setting of the house gives it a slight rural feel which is such a pleasant change. The sleep out down the path is so cute. I most certainly recommend this great property.”
