Review

I don’t even know where to start… this place is something else.

From the moment we walked in, all we could see was glass, sky, and endless ocean — like the whole world just slowed down. Every room frames the view perfectly, but the real magic? That double-sided gas fireplace.

Watching the flames from the lounge with the ocean stretching out in front of you, … it’s the perfect mix of cosy and luxury. Oh and the stone bath! Divine! 

The house itself is pure luxury — beautifully designed, spotless, and so private. You feel completely tucked away, yet every detail has been thought of. Mornings were coffee on the deck with nothing but birds and waves, and nights were warm, quiet, and unreal under the stars. We even heard a kiwi! 

This isn’t just a stay — it’s an experience. We’ve already said we’ll be back .
