Birthday Trip
Patrick was an absolutely wonderful host and the arrival process was smooth and easy! It was the most stunning location with a lot of space for the seven of us that stayed. Unfortunately it rained most of our stay so we are hoping to stay again to get to spend some time outside on the property. One thing to note is that the property is completely off-grid. We loved this aspect but definitely worth knowing that there is just one composting toilet and one shower when you have a big group! The central part of the house was fantastic and was where we spent most of our time playing board games while it rained. Fantastic cooking facilities and more than enough space to all relax inside. As I said above, we will definitely look to book another stay, thank you Patrick!!

Great kiwi batch, Stunning harbor. Views amazing. One of the prettiest places we have visited, if you have a boat to explore the harbor you will have a blast. Would love to visit again.
