Ashu Landing

JackRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We stayed 8 nights at the lovely whare Aroha and had a lovely and relaxing time in some of the most beautiful surroundings imaginable! We had a minor snag on first arrival as we didn't absorb the instructions about the dirt road up from the highway, but we were rescued by the lovely Jai, who ran us up and down each time for the rest of our stay That aside the place was so nice, with lovely quiet and well kept cottages and villas - just the thing for a family looking to get away from it all! The place is a retreat type location to get away from busy modern life, so note no WiFi, so suggest at least one of your party has data.

Remote Cottage in endless Nature and Views

PeterRating, 5 stars5 months ago

The cottage is a basic (and somewhat dated) bach. Kitchen gear is limited, fridge is small, and since the nearest anything is an hour+ away that is a bit of a problem. But daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn those views. The views from the cottage at high tide are mindblowing, but the hikes to the beaches at lowtide are simply spectacular. One word of caution. The property is a working sheep station, so don't wear your dancing shoes.

Relaxing Cosy Ruru Tiny House in Pohara

OmerRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Angie is an amazing host. Other than we asked so many questions and favors, all she has been doing was being nice, calm and supportive. The tiny house isn't so tiny.. we were very surprised to see how big the house is versus tiny houses. You have a beautiful lake just in front of you, the house has all amenities you need for cooking or relaxing. There is no wifi - we kinda liked it, place to talk with your partner and have a great night with her. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. Would come again! We wish you the best, thank you!

Self-contained flat with stunning views!

KatherineRating, 5 stars15 months ago

I cannot describe how beautiful this place is. I think I will remember it for the rest of my life. Do yourself a favor and stay here for at least a couple of nights. I wished I’d had more time. In addition to the beautiful surroundings (including a view of the ocean) the place was absolutely spotless and had everything I needed.

An open-plan living area features large glass doors that provide views of the ocean. A wooden ceiling with exposed beams enhances the space's warmth. The seating area includes a dark leather sectional and a wooden coffee table, positioned on a soft rug, with a wood-burning stove visible in the corner.

My stay at Ligar Bay was great and had everything I was looking for. The property had a private deck that was very relaxing to sit on while looking at the water. I found the house was warm and didn't need the heater even though it was cold outside. Would stay again.
