3.5 star property
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (306)
"Great location and resort but frustrating we couldn’t get the casting to work on the TV despite staff telling us it was working! Hilly location and very limited parking. Disappointing housekeeping only came every second day. The whole purpose of holidaying is not making my bed. Would stay again tho. "

Enclosure Bay

4.5 star property
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (124)
"We booked the cheapest room for two nights, but when we got there, Andy told us that we're their only guests for the weekend, so they upgraded our room to the suite. 😊 The suite was stunning with a big living room and kitchen, also with ecstatic views. When we left the room the next day to tour around the island, we went back to a cleanroom. Although, we didn't expect a cleaning service.

"My wife and I spent two nights with Andy & Pip at the lodge at the start of our New Zealand vacation.

The Dome House

3.5 star property
7.8 out of 10, Good, (6)
"Unique place to stay. Close walk to the beach and restaurants. One detail guests should be advised of is the requirement to pre-book a ferry if they are travelling by car . We ended up having to change travel plans as we could not get off the island on the day we wanted to. Had we known that pre-booking was required we could have made sure prior to our arrival. "

Wild Thyme

3.0 star property
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (60)
"Our stay at Wild Thyme was perfect, the apartment was modern, stylish and very clean. The view was stunning and we enjoyed sitting on the huge deck taking in the view. Bruce and Jules were fantastic to deal with and gave great advice and tips, we appreciated the pickup and drop off from the ferry terminal. Wild Thyme is one of the nicest apartments we’ve stayed at, all in all a 10 out of 10 experience, would defiantly recommend."
