As we are living on the island but not onsite we will stop by at some stage to say Kia Orana (hello), other than that we leave you to it - it is your property for your entire stay and we can help as much or little as needed! .
There is a Guest Compendium that tells you everything you need to know, do and see to help you maximize your stay. Before arrival we also send our guide book to help plan your stay.
