See what happy visitors have to say!
Out of this world. Words cannot describe the feeling and beauty of having had the privilege to stay in your wonderful home
The location is straight on the waterfront with breathtaking views and stunning sunsets. Ideal location to unwind and enjoy the comfort of home away from home.
The quality build home and surrounding are outstanding, especially the wonderful living room, the outside deck and the fully self-contained kitchen. Great bathrooms and facilities, so clean and welcoming. The home is like a paradise for unwinding or to be one with nature. I’m sure we'll be back.
Thank you, Robyn. I feel as if I have known you all my life! Your kindness and personality are admirable, to say it mildly. If we were closer, I’m sure we’d be the best of friends Thank you! Nothing but 5 stars.
Sherren & Gerrit. Sydney, Australia.

A fabulous stay. Thanks so much Robyn. It's such a beautiful place and so quiet. I haven't slept so well in years! LOL.

Robyn, many thanks for the last minute housing. Myself and my family are very appreciative. The rooms and living area are amazing. Slept with the screens down and windows open, listening to the birds and water. I wish I had a recording of the sounds to take home to the States. The outside property is beautiful. I wish I had a boat and fishing rod and more time to spend here. Again, thank you for everything!

This place was beyond our expectations! What a lovely place to end our wonderful trip in New Zealand. It was so relaxing and spacious. We were able to enjoy a lovely dinner watching the sunset, then had a nice hot shower to relax before a long flight! Thank you, Robyn, for a very inspiring space.

Very well set up. So relaxing and quiet. Just what we needed. Very comfy. Shame we had only the two nights. Weather great. Beautiful sunset on our last evening. Thank you, Robyn. Very clean and well appointed. Hope to return one day.

Everything thought of. Glad there was an Indian wedding in Pukekohe taking up all the accommodation or wouldn't have discovered this place! Only one night for work but was wonderful. See you again!

Wow! What a generous and interesting hostess! Thank you for sharing your “bolt hole” in New Zealand. This is our 30th trip to your country and it is the people that bring us back time and time again, not just the scenery. We love learning and exploring and now that we have experienced your gracious hospitality, we know we will be seeing you again.

Waterfront serenity – it touched us in so many ways.
Thank you, Robyn, for your aroha and enabling a wonderful opportunity to share your ‘waterfront serenity’. Rob cannot get over that he has met a real-life author/writer and cannot put down one of your published books. I believe this whakatauki/proverb fits our short stay: “He oranga ngakau, He hikinga wairua.” “When it touches your heart, it lifts your spirit.”
We walk away grateful and appreciative of our beautiful surroundings/ land/water/nature. Thank you again, Robyn, for reminding us of this and sharing your beautiful home. We will definitely recommend this to my friends/family/work colleagues.
Rob & Tara, Manurewa, Auckland, NZ.

Time seems to stand still! Quiet place to take a rest and look at the birds on the foreshore, the sea, and the tides. Thank you, Robyn, for your welcome. We will have a thought for you while reading your book.

Peaceful and beautiful. Location was excellent, peaceful with nature sounds of the birds singing and the water playing with the wind throughout the day. Has everything you need and Robyn supplies you with enough essentials and supplies. Free WIFI also was helpful. Loved everything.

Exceptional!! Everything about this property is over and above and well worth the pleasant drive from the main motorway. From the view and birdlife to the exceptional, and thoughtful level of detail in the kitchen…like a butter dish, salt and pepper, oil! Books, games, DVD player with full range of movies. Super comfortable and simply beautiful! There is nothing at all not to like about this property.
Sue, NZ.

Wow! What a place to stay. Overlooking the sea on your doorstep with table and chairs to stare at the view. Such lovely accommodation with great pictures on the walls and everything you would need for a stay. Very clean and comfortable with an exceptional host who wants to make the stay special. I so wish we had booked for longer. A relaxing, special place. Would highly recommend.
