Perfect getaway
Sharon was so accommodating and her place was quiet and perfect. Loved our time relaxing on the deck!
This place had everything you require( home from home). Close to Orewa for shopping and not far from the Beach and Main Highway.

Was a brilliant property - very close to town but very private too. Only wished we could have stayed longer! Lots of helpful information left, along with delicious cookies, and the bed was so comfy.

Cozy cottage
A great location in Orewa. Walking distance through the bush to the beach. A short drive to the shops. Lovely and peaceful. Comfortable outdoor chairs for a nap on the deck.
It's a really great location just 5 minutes drive to the centre of Orewa but far enough away to be very quiet so you can enjoy the bird song. Has everything in the house so its very comfortable and makes for a super easy stay.

Fantastic home from home
Perfect place to spend our first few days in NZ. Quiet and relaxing but not far from Orewa, a lovely little beach town. Accommodation was clean and welcoming...we had the best night's sleep in such a comfortable bed. Lovely outside space and everything you could wish for in a holiday home, and more. Can't rate this lovely place highly enough.
