Such an amazing place and lovely hosts! The views are unbeatable! Love the closeness to nature and you can really calm down here. The only mistake was booking for two nights only, coming back to nz we will definitely come back to stay longer! Thanks for all your help!
We really enjoyed our visit. The setting is spectacular, it would be hard to find a better view. Peter and Wendi are great hosts. The birds come right to the birdbath and are amazing.
Everything we expected and more..... One of our best getaways. Nature at its best.... Most spectacular views from the bach at a beautiful location. We were in awe of the birdlife around us...thank you Pete for sharing your little haven.
Wendi and Peter have created a perfect retreat nestled in a bit of paradise. The cabin is welcoming and comfortable, with everything you need to have a restful or adventurous time. We loved that the cottage reflected the place and the people who love it.
An absolutely perfect stay. It's a no-brainer to visit this charming and beautiful house in the hills. Well, only if you like very cool hosts, stunning views, a gorgeous vantage for many varieties of local birds, warm and colourful skies at sunset and an unpolluted view of the stars at night. We had a wonderful time- to say the least. I wish we lived closer. I'm going to do my darnedest to visit again! XoThanks a million for having us!
Beautifully situated in an area where NZ wildlife surrounds you in full privacy. The views are spectacular and the surrounding beaches are amazing - Boulder Bay was great for snorkeling and it had a lovely bush walk to get to. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a relaxing holiday away from their busy lives - never been more relaxed in my life ever!
Excellent hosts. Steep access could prove difficult for some. Stunning birdlife. Perfect example of predator control of native bush; prolific young kohekohe. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
We had a 2 night stay-Wendy helped us take our gear to the cabin, told us about the amenities, the surrounds etc Everything is there to stay very comfortably. Decor is cool and the view-magnificent. I couldn't/didn't want to sleep because the night sky was amazing. I can truly say, we loved it! Wanted to stay longer!
The most wonderful stay in the most amazing place. Wendi and Pete are the perfect and most hospitable hosts.Everything was as described it was just heaven. Thank you
Best view from the bed. Our hosts Pete and Wendy were absolutely gorgeous. We had the best time ever. Break from the hustle and bustle, loved being amongst the tree canopy and getting to know the local bird life. Property is immaculate, perfect place to wind down. This place doesn't disappoint and is way cooler than we expected. We loved it.
Beautiful, remote location with stunning views and wildlife. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. Nearby beaches are awesome. We will almost certainly be back in the future!
Peter and Wendy were wonderful hosts from the get-go and helped guide and direct us towards the bach with complete ease. They also helped us load our belongings into the bach for the short walk up to the bach! The bach itself is beyond serene - fully equipped with every little thoughtful thing to make the guests feel more welcome, at home, and comfortable! We absolutely loved the whole experience right from the start to the end. The sounds of the birds, the scenic view from every window at the property, and the absolute sense of peace was the perfect way to get a little escape and taste the beauty of NZ. Would a 100% recommend this spot to any nature lover or just anyone looking to restore themselves from the daily hustle of every day life!
Ideal for people who like nature and want something a bit different.you are staying in some ones special home. We are in our 70's and we coped with the short walk.
We had a wonderful stay. The weather was fine, the native birds were in song and the views were incredible.
Host Peter was very accommodating.
And the bed with a view was a highlight!
Highly recommended.
Pete's place is a lovely hideaway nestled in beautiful native bush. The house is cute and quirky with amazing views from the deck and bed! Per the description, there are a number of stairs from the car to the house through the bush, so pack lightly (it's not terrible, but you wouldn't want to carry the kitchen sink). There are a few lovely walks to do from the house including down to their local stony beach, and a wonderful sandy beach only 5-10 mins drive away. Bathroom facilities are in immaculate condition, kitchen is well kitted out, and Pete was a wonderful host. We stayed 2 nights, but could have easily stayed 4 or more to really settle in and explore the area.
What a wonderful place and hosts! 3 days gave us a small sample of what this part of the Coromandle has to offer. The accommodation is full of wonder with acollection of rocks that are mind blowing. The flora and birdlife are non stop. We truly hope to return!
We loved our stay here! The cabin has everything you could need for your stay. There is a short walk down to the beach nearby, with amazing rock pools at low tide.
We were visited by Tƫī, kererĆ« and heard some kÄkÄ in the area!
This place is such a great find! The views are absolutely stunning and the bird life is amazing. We could even hear Kiwi at night. I canât imagine anywhere better to relax and completely unwind!
Pete and Wendi are lovely hosts and made sure we were comfortable during our stay.
