Fantastic house, wonderful views, great host

I couldn’t recommend Pip’s home more highly. An absolute delight to stay at and Pip herself couldn’t have been more helpful, even finding us a chef at very short notice. There are beautiful views from the seating area. The house is well equipped and incredibly clean and well organised. Our granddaughter had no shortage of toys to play with and the adults had lots of water sport stuff to keep them happy too. Our last night was magical as we sat with a glass of wine on the dock watching the most incredible sunset . A massive thank you to Pip and we look forward to returning in the future”

Tranquil Retreat

Pip and Ian's place was a gem. Their home is situated on a quiet street overlooking a stunning tidal estuary that is an ever-changing landscape of colourful sunsets and bird life. With the tide out you can walk around the sandstone cliffs. There is a beautiful beach 5 minutes drive which we walked numerous times. You are on the doorstep of the Tasman Peninsula which is postcard perfect, with shorter or longer walks. The house is stylish and comfortable with every possible amenity. They even have their own boathouse with canoes and SUP. Communication with Pip was warm and easy Thanks for a wonderful stay .”
