Kai Iwi Retreat
A four-bedroom home that has a homely but beach vibe to it with the beach just a few minutes walk. Guests can enjoy themselves in the spacious open-plan living area, with French doors opening onto a private brick courtyard and an established multi-level garden setting. After a day at the beach, this is the perfect spot to fire up the BBQ and share stories or relax and unwind in the comfortable living space inside or out. In the colder season soak in the spa and enjoy star gazing & a warm fire.
Make yourself comfortable in your apartment. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. The bathroom has a shower.

Was a lovely home
However it was very cold, as it is a big house. they have a wood fire but there was not much wood for the four days we were there and the heater provided didnt work well. Everything was awesome, other than the fact the house was freezing.
