The Works
2 Bedroom (a combination of the two units above)
Absolute Waterfront Serenity for the Family or Larger Group
Just minutes from the city yet a world away, this option is perfect for friends who want more space, families, or groups. The flexible layout ensures comfort and convenience for all. With a well-equipped kitchen, two lounges, and sleeping space for up to 7 guests, this is the ideal destination to relax, recharge, and soak in the serenity.
You have two beautifully appointed self-contained 1-bedroom units (Kotare & Tui) combined into a spacious 2- or 3-bedroom bundle. The second lounge can become a third bedroom, for the large sofa converts to a luxurious queen sofa bed. With The Works you also get a separate bathroom and toilet, a laundry and a well-stocked kitchenette.
Rates: $340 per night + $20 per additional guest per night (beyond 2 guests).

"Time seems to stand still! Quiet place to take a rest and look at the birds on the foreshore, the sea, and the tides. Thank you, Robyn, for your welcome. We will have a thought for you while reading your book."
Yannick & Genevieve Bissey Aix-en-Provence, France

"Wow! What a place to stay. Overlooking the sea on your doorstep with table and chairs to stare at the view. Such lovely accommodation with great pictures on the walls and everything you would need for a stay. Very clean and comfortable with an exceptional host who wants to make the stay special. I so wish we had booked for longer. A relaxing, special place. Would highly recommend."
