The house sits on immaculate property with private trails, completely privacy, and every conceivable accommodation. It is well planned, well kept, well stocked and beautifully cared for. The caretakers were incredible hospitable and helpful and the house has every accommodation possible. The view is incredible. Highly recommended for a couple that wants a high end getaway experience (or you can also take the villa below the main property with two additional bedrooms for a slightly larger group). ##### Samuel Z.

Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheyenne B. 8 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Place Very beautiful luxury home. We absolutely loved our stay. I do suggest maybe getting a mattress topper as it felt like we were in separate beds as we had separate blankets too. But apart from the bedding it was a great relaxing stay. Loved seeing all the native birds the bird life was amazing! Also seen a Ruru(morepork) swoop in and get him a big moth which was flying around the light on the deck that moment was magical it felt like it happened in slow motion 😁 absolutely amazing thank you for sharing your beautiful property! ##### Cheyenne B.
