Summary: We had a wonderful 4-night stay in Diane's very comfortable caravan. We loved the view from the property and being able to watch the tides come and go. The kitchen was well appointed, the bed comfortable, bathroom facilities were excellent, and the deck fantastic: even in heavy rain we were comfortable moving about. We loved the peace and quiet and hope to visit again. Diane was quick, polite and friendly to deal with and the whole experience was great!

Summary: Diane, you're a wonderful and very friendly host. Apart from maintaining the property impeccable way, your friendly approach and clear communication were definitely worth mentioning. And your instant support on fixing the hot water issue is highly commendable. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and we would definitely love to come back, and we have already started recommending your place to friends and families. Thank you once again.

Summary: We had a really lovely family break here over a long weekend. It's a wow moment as soon as you arrive and see the magnificent view of Ohiwa Harbour, and another wow moment as you venture down the driveway at night to see the spectacular glow worms. The caravan was affordable and was perfect for our family, everything we needed to be self-sufficient for our stay, and lots of time spent on the deck relaxing and taking in the ever-changing harbour view. Our host was helpful and friendly with great communication, and we all felt like we'd had a really lovely break and went home well rested. I would highly recommend this beautiful accommodation, thank you Diane.

Summary: We had a super nice stay at Diane's place in Waiotahi and can't speak highly enough about the location, views or surroundings. Diane was very lovely to deal with. She was prompt and friendly with answering messages and lovely in person when she greeted us on arrival. She even very generously gifted us a fourth night as the space hadn't been rented for that night! That was such a kind and unexpected Christmas gift (which we gratefully accepted)! Thanks again, Diane, for sharing your special spot with us :)
