Great view and excellent lighting. We had lots of space to enjoy the company of the whole family and cook meals together. The appliances are excellent. Taking a bath outdoors with a glass of wine and the New Zealand birds was a highlight for us.

Fabulous modern house
Fab modern place, great facilities & a view like no other. Beds inside were very comfy and the showers great . A little disappointed with the 3rd bedroom only being a mattress on the fall
