Aimee Miller
Fantastic communication with the owners. The house was beautifully decorated. The kayaks and ping pong table were a hit. Luscious gardens to enjoy while cooking the bbq. This is a must stay house on your list for a Marlborough Sounds getaway.
Gaynor
We had 5 adults and 5 children here and the layout worked really well. Close to a very safe and friendly beach and having the kayaks available was a bonus. The large garden space was great for the kids also. We found the oven very slow to heat and it was a bit frustrating not being able to see which function we were on. Some plastic containers to put left overs in would be handy to have available plus maybe a roll of baking paper or tinfoil. Sun all day and plenty heaters so beautifully warm. Owners extremely helpful and the house was spotless on our arrival. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Response from Owner
Glad you enjoyed your stay. We will check the oven, this is the 1st time anyone has noticed it being slow to heat.If there is a problem it will be replaced. Guests receive a welcome txt on arrival and we encourage them to contact us if there is any problem so we can deal with it quickly.
