The Cabin- luxury stay with sea views

NooroaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Davina was the hostess with the mostest. Such a lovely and respondent host, to every query we asked about. The Airbnb was easy to find and the instructions for location, accessing this Unit, was informative and easy to follow. This stunning, 2 large bedroomed, unit, with a nice lounge area and bathroom with toilet and shower and washing machine, included was pristinely clean and just what was required. All amenities were available and all cupboards and drawers were clearly labelled. So that you knew where everything was located. We slept like King's! the beds were so comfortable and the linen was luxurious and on point. It did get a bit cool, one of the nights we were there. But the heat pump kept us warm. Although there was no Dryer available. There was a clothes line onsite that we could hang our clothes on, instead. So an amazing experience and stay and we would love to stay again and recommend this to any person or group of 4 to stay. You won't regret it. Thanks Davina

We had a great stay at this beachfront studio in Mount Maunganui. The location was unbeatable, just steps from the sand, and waking up to the ocean view right from the bed was amazing.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This was an incredible stay-- absolutely stunning, amazing to hear the sound of the ocean as we drank our coffee. The morning cheese scones were DELICIOUS (I would love the recipe) and the hot tub was amazing! Being able to walk down the back porch and onto the beach was the best! Loved our stay here!

Nelson Beachfront Luxury Apartment

BranaghRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Such a lovely place to stay! We travelled to Nelson for a work related trip and this had absolutely everything we needed. Beautiful views over the ocean and walkable distance to a few nearby restaurants. We had one minor inconvenience on day one where one of us was stuck in the lift (just a note to not have bags against the walls!) - something we would have known had we read the booklet inside, however as we were using the lift to get our bags upstairs we hadn't quite got that far... Vivienne was great on the phone and her and they helped us sort this out quickly. Overall a great stay/location and would recommend highly to other guests :)
