Retreat in lush native bush
Immersed in nikau palms and beautiful ferns , this clever modern house captures the essence of nature that is truly unique. When it rained the vegetation became magical, out on the covered deck and enjoyed through the huge windows.

Great place, no communication
The property was adequate. The location was good and the property was clean except for several bugs on the wall and curtains. However, we received no check-in instructions. As we were traveling internationally, we did not have readily available access to wifi and had to drive around the island for hours waiting for the host to respond with check in instructions. Check in was at 2:00pm, and we did not hear from the host until after 5:30pm. Traveling with a toddler was difficult without a place to put her down to nap. Again, nice place, but could use better communication from the host.

Lovely environment
Handy to everything, best with a car though. House is a bit tired and could do with a spruce up, given the price. House is smaller than you would expect. Quite damp, with the bush setting. Had a great time on the island !

Lovely place
The place was as described and property manager very helpful. Very well laid out house set in the bush. You really feel tucked away and very private. There are properties either side but plenty of bush between them for privacy (both were empty when we were there). The place is set up really well with everything you need, nice soft beds and lovely linen. The place don't get a ton of sun in the winter as it is all about the bush setting - would get more in the summer when the sun is higher. We would stay there again.

Like staying in a jungle!
The location was very secluded and off the beaten path. It felt like we were staying in a jungle. Every window had an amazing view of palm trees. Its important to note that the busses service that location only once a day, so if mobility is an issue, this might not be the best location. It’s a little more than a half mile into town with a pretty serious incline. The outdoor living space was stellar—covered porch made it possible to enjoy time outside even if it was raining the whole time. Overall, I really enjoyed our stay.
