Our first review from our very first guests staying at our house! Thank you gor leaving it so clean for us!!

We’re sitting on the Singapore-to-London leg of our return journey from NZ, and this is the first opportunity we’ve had to “put pen to paper” to thank you for letting us stay in your gorgeous Ōtaki beach house

It was so kind of you to make your house available to us, and being able to stay in such comfort made an already very special weekend even better.

We understand that you’ve recently had the house “polished” for rental. We’ve no doubt that future guests will love it. It was a luxurious stay, with lots of space, elegant décor, an extremely comfortable bed (we stayed in the big room) and a well-equipped kitchen.
I hope that, when we’re next in NZ, we’ll have the chance to meet and thank you in person.

Warm regards

Sarah and Peter

Ground clearing! After no gardening since last April finally got to clear out the gardens and driveway.

Planted up some bird of paradise plants, lilies and Tina the banana tree ( named after the really helpful lady greenery garden centre!)

Really feeling like a holiday home now. Will be going live on AIRBNB soon.

Window cleaner in today so better photos coming.

It’s nearly ready!!

After a long hard year we are nearly ready to enjoy!

Balcony going on this week.

Deck should be finished

Just electrics to complete

Roof truss to finish

And then it’s overhauling the garden and redoing the driveway!
