- "Beautiful setting. Very well equipped. Enjoyed very much" - "a great location, views that are better than you can imagine, an extraordinary house and a very helpful host. We enjoyed a wonderfull week at Paroa Bay Retreat and have already threatened to return. thank you Jeff." - "Stayed at Jeff's place for a family Christmas trip, and we couldn't have picked a better spot. This was the first time we'd seen our daughter in two years because of COVID (we live in Canada) and we wanted something special. Jeff's place fit the bill perfectly. It's an amazing property in an amazing location with an amazing host. Jeff was easy to communicate with, and he and his wife even went to the trouble to buy and decorate a Christmas tree for us. We drove up from Auckland very early in the morning, and Jeff was kind enough to let us check in early. The place is gorgeous and has absolutely everything you could want. Kitchen facilities are first rate and has everything you need. All five of us love to cook and we made all of our meals while there for 10, save one, and there was nothing we couldn't find. My pet peeve is full knives, so I travel with a knife sharpener. Not only were the knives sharp, there was a sharpener in the drawer! My wife even found a pastry brush when she made croissants! The rest of the property is great too. Many days we just hung around the pool, and evenings were spent playing games in the large living room. We loved the place, and I can't recommend it highly enough!"
