Beautiful and well-equiped rooms, everything perfect, including the beds and the moscito-proofing :) Extremely friendly staff. Excellent food. Good location at one of the widest parts of the lagoon.

The friendly smaller nature of the property and the personal service that comes with that - quite apart from its stunning location right on the Aroa lagoon

like- beachside dislike - the property is very dated, the likes of bedspread had holes and various patches, sheets stained, grey towels, and curtains that offered no privacy at all. - the bed must have been at least 15 years old as is sagged and you could feel all the springs. - overpriced and have no idea how they have a 4 star rating

Kia Orana, Thank you for your review. We are very sorry that you didn't like our island style decor. In respect to your comments on sheets and towels, we use a commercial laundry and if you had said something at the time we would have taken this up with them, but you didn't, instead choosing to leave an anonymous review. Unfortunately it is impossible for me to say what I really think of you and your review on this forum. Kia Manuia

A lovely quiet location & most rooms have beachview balcony. Good snorkelling in the area. But best is the atmosphere that Steve & Geraldine & staff have created. The evenings often have live music at the Shipwreak bar & the meals are simple but deliscious. Happy memorable evenings at this bar.
