This has been one of our favorite houses to stay at in New Zealand! The house design is spectacular! Ocean view, close to the beach, but very private. We loved waking up in the forest.( forest views from both the master bedrooms). The inner courtyard is nice( sheltered from the wind).It would be really fantastic if there was a two person hot tub in this courtyard, or off the back walkway, in the forest.

Idyllic setting.

Beautiful setting. Disappointed that the floors and windows were not clean throughout the house. We certainly left it a lot cleaner than we found it. The fire was fantastic at warming the whole house.

Beautiful modern house in the trees. A bit form over function though. Some practical issues eg wood was a bit wet, no salt.
