"We thoroughly enjoyed the accomodation for our entire 10 day stay. It was immaculate and very well resourced. Our whanau were all very comfortable with their rooms/beds and our dog made the most of being able to sprint up and down the large, secure section. The parking area was also large and made dealing with boats and trailers a breeze. Our host was very accommodating and quick to respond. She seemed to have thought of every need. We absolutely recommend this property. It would be our preferred place to stay when we come back to Kawhia. "

"This is a serene spot to have a holiday. The apartment is large, welcoming, very clean and supplied with everything you might need for your stay. Handy to Raglan village and surf beaches - you will need a car. Amanda is a warm, friendly and communicative host."
