"Lovely host, very communicative. Had everything we needed and was a nice location by the ocean. The bach itself however was quite run down and had a lot of mold in the bathroom and a lot of flies. It felt like the host was living there and just left before we arrived. Alot of there stuff was still in the bach which was a bit awkward as we didn’t have any room to put our clothes etc. It didn’t feel very clean."

"Lovely host, beautiful view, we could see the Milky Way at night, everything we needed in the cabin and easy to get to the hikes around taranaki. Highly recommend. "

"Where do I start? From our first contact with Iliya, everything just kept getting better. Wonderful hosts, spectacularly amazing house with unique architecture! The space itself is lovely, warm and really feels comfortable for everyone from our 3 year old to the older adults! We loved that there is a dedicated prayer room on the top floor… the beautiful windows revealing the surrounds, including Mount Taranaki made the space perfect for contemplation. We also loved the small details, including...

"Fantastic stay, great spot with a lovely host."

"Amazing location, felt very private and peaceful. The hut was lovely and cosy and the visitor book gave some great recommendations. Would definitely stay again. "

"We loved our 4 days in Hurford. The place was small but comfortable and set in the most amazing beautiful garden! It was a good base to explore the area, great hiking in the Kataki range, lovely beach at Oakura. Only 20 mins from the Bowl of Brooklands where went to a concert. Highly recommend "

"We stayed here at the end of our trip and it was the perfect place to relax, enjoy the beautiful scenery and listen to the sounds of the surf and birds. Seth, Nuala and David all made a point of stopping by to see how we were settling in and it was lovely to read the history behind the creation of the villas. Cannot recommend this place enough - would still be there if we could ☺️"

"Very handy to the shops in Oakura. Quiet interior with double glazed windows. Beach an easy 10-minute walk around the corner. Top spot!"

"Lovely location for a quiet relaxing night. Maths were beautiful under the stars."

"The house was perfect for our needs and the pictures shown were accurate. Beds were comfy (the sofa bed was old but did the job) and house was tidy lovely art work throughout the house The check in process took slightly longer but that was my mistake and when I contacted the host it was rectified quickly. Would happily stay here again. "
