A special place
We loved being a little Away from It, but also close to so much. As others have noted, the views are lovely, the deck and barbi inviting, it's quiet, the house is spacious and very well laid out, and after some early communication glitches Margaret was a most gracious and generous host and neighbour. You are guaranteed privacy, and we could happily have stayed on a lot longer. We highly recommend this good-value rental as your home away from home.

Lovely view
Nice view, comfy house. Easy check in and lovely host. We were unaware how close the host and her dogs live. But it wasn’t an issue. Great stay. Thanks for having us.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Communication
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was a lot better and bigger than we expected! For our stay, everything was clean. The only note about cleanliness is that while the bedding/towel was clean, it did seem dusty… maybe suggest bringing your own towel / pillows for comfort. Another point was that I struggled to get into contact with the host and didn’t receive any confirmation/check-in details in the days before the booking. The morning of the booking, I only just managed to get into contact with her, in which she didn’t know that we were coming (although everything was ready for us). However! She is really welcoming and pleasant… I believe there is just miscommunication on Vrbo’s part. Her phone number wasn’t available directly on the booking however I asked the help chat for it (although note that this is her personal mobile which she doesn’t have with her all the time & also you MUST CALL). Other than these points e.g. uneasiness with communication in the beginning & somewhat dusty bedding, this spot is well-worth your money. Views are incredible and location is superb - it has everything you need.

Great winter break
Lovely home with a caring, helpful host. Enjoyed the expansive views across the river valley. Not far from Paihia by car and Mr Google easily found the way. All day sun with a great deck. We were looking for a restful place to stay for a few days and it ticked all our boxes.
