These are among the many questions we are asked ... drop us a line if you have others.
We don’t offer yoga, beauty treatments, fine dining, fishing trips, hunting weekends, cold plunges, survival skills, or group challenges.
Our menu is far simpler and focused on essential unwinding. We provide a relaxing, private space for couples to reconnect or singles to disconnect from a stressful life. We see our place as an escape, for a little while.
Quite simply because it is the sort of destination we'd like to visit! When we lived in Auckland we went away every month to escape and seek exactly what we have created here! Hopefully, if you think like us, and are looking to spend some time in a unique space then you will too.
Yes. Absolutely. Every booking is entirely private. There are no other guests during your stay.
Simple - 2 adults arriving and leaving at the same time. People of all genders and sexual orientation are welcome. As a couple you do not have to be in a relationship, but you must know each other and we must have contact details for both of you. Please note - if staying there is only the one Queen double bed to share!
Yes, genuinely. You are welcome, any gender.
You may skinny-dip in the spa if you wish. The spas are in the private part of our garden, have walls and an additional mobile screen. We personally don’t wear swimwear in the spa, but your comfort always comes first. We will never join you without swimwear unless explicitly invited.
Our default is unscented organic coconut oil. It's natural and gentle on the skin. If you have a nut allergy or any sensitivity, we also offer an unscented, water-soluble gel alternative. Your comfort and safety always come first, so please let us know of any allergies or preferences in advance.
By default yes, unless you request otherwise.
Because we are a destination for guests looking for a private, intimate, romantic escape. We do not publish our address to avoid walk-in enquiries and to protect the privacy of our guests, especially if they are enjoying clothing-optional sun-bathing or in the spa. As hosts we are relaxed with these activities; however our priority it to respect our guests privacy and ensure they remain comfortable.
We are also more than a regular B&B insofar as we are accommodation with a spa, sauna and massages and we prefer direct contact with our guests to ensure any bespoke requests are managed.
