Sanctuary by the sea - I shall rename thee! What a wonderful haven to behold on arrival. Exuding a warm peaceful atmosphere. The luxurious couch and cushions and comfortable outdoor furniture.(ps there’s a pull out table on each sunlounge-just right for cocktails). Enticed many a lazy hour soaking up the glorious view. Thank you Fiona and Rob- I will certainly be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this slice of paradise. The sun shined each day and it was truly a relaxing and peaceful summer break. Highlights included a spa on the morning of Jan 01,2006 and fresh snapper cooked on the BBQ which we ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We will definitely be back and will recommend this place to all our friends and family. Thanks Fiona and Rob- you were wonderful hosts and an extra big thanks for looking after our Kitty, Mr Tinkles,(at Kitty Club Med) who we are sure is also eager to return!

Melanie Smith and Grant Hall, Newton, Auckland.
