Pipit cottage. Farm cottage with breathtaking view

MichelRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Tres agréable logement avec tout ce qu’il faut au niveau équipement. Le lieu est très isolé et avec une très belle vue. Promenade au départ du logement pour aller voir de l’autre côté de la colline, super! Le chemin pour accéder au logement peut sembler un peu particulier et "risquer " mais en fait se fait sans aucune difficulté ( sauf peut-être la 1ère fois de nuit et encore....)

Ohope Beach Chalet

JocelynRating, 5 stars1 month ago

What a lucky find this is! You instantly feel relaxed as you enter- the smell of the timber, the coziness of the space, a liittle home away from home. The kids love the bunk bed! Everything you need is provided-I love the fact that they use eco-friendly products, and encourage composting/recycling. Both Deborah and Ian have been super helpful, if you do have any questions. Happy to chat with you if you've got the time, and even shared some limes and chilies with us (went great w our ceviche! Thank you!). A great location- short walk to the beach. Thanks for a wonderful stay- it's just what we needed.
