Stunning forever changing view, close to Mahinepua Peninsula walking track (allow 3hrs return). Sauna also a delight for rest and relaxation. Welcome basket, comfy bed, great self catering break away. Been several times and consistently appreciated.

Soul revival.

10.0

The moment you stepped onto the deck and viewed the ocean setting, you knew your soul could simply rest and rejuvenate. The cave is extremely private and very modern and functional. Everything is top of the line from the kitchenette, bedding, bathroom and surprise Sauna. There are stairs down to the cove where kayaks are placed for the guests, along with life jackets and snorkel gear. WiFi is excellent but try to “unplug”. There is a hidden television in case of rain. Loved every minute of our stay. Hosts are super fun and friendly.

Not a thing was wrong.
