The hosts were quite welcoming and polite. My husband and I were thrilled to see those pretty interiors and the well-maintained property. Nice outdoor area to chill with a few beers. I was a bit disappointed in the beginning to find out that the spa was non-operational (temporarily) due to some leakage problem. On expressing my disappointment, the hosts were kind enough to apologise with a cute card and a box of chocolates to make it up as it was my birthday too.

Temporarily non-operational spa

The private spa was wonderful. We were given bread, spreads, biscuits, milk, juice, tea, coffee and breakfast cereals. Funny it is advertised as a "Dream excape for 2". It was myself and my daughter (21yr). We had a fab time.

I have nothing at all to complain about. If I really wanted to get nit picky, I could say that the car parking space wasn't very big next to the house - but hey - I had the option of parking on the grass verge.

The location for paraparaumu, Raumati and surrounds was perfect. A spa under cover and enclosed is close to the room (but very quiet, no noise) and the room has a private entranceway. Very pet friendly, lovely continental breakfast. Very comfy bed, everything was well presented, lovely and clean. Very quiet and peaceful. A little fridge, kettle, toaster, breakfast table, comfy chairs and a generous book shelf. tea, coffee milk and juice as well as bread for toast, cereals and porridge. Perfect for a solo or couple stay for business or holiday or retreat and time out.

Everything was great

Location was extremely convenient for us coming from the Interislander ferry. There wasn't an issue with us arriving after 6.30pm. We were able to stroll to the village for dinner... 10 minutes away. Lovely warm and welcoming accommodation. It was great to soak in the spa after dinner and then peruse the large book collection. Wonderful to have real coffee for breakfast! Thank you for a great stay. We hope to return and stay longer so we can read some of the books!

Having to leave after only one night

On arrival the room was lovely and warm (we arrived around 7pm) and the lights on - very welcoming. The spa was delightful (a great way to unwind after travelling). This was our second stay - as we stayed on our travel down and then again as we travelled back - as our first stay was absolutely everything we needed and an exceptional stay. Thoroughly recommend.

N/A

This was such an easy olce to find and so close to the beach, the hosts were so helpful to me when I needed assistance with a personal matter and made me feel very welcome when I contacted them on a personal matter

The spa was out of service prior to my arrival, unsure if it has been repairs but I understand these things sometimes happen so was not phased at all by this

We always try to stay at dream escape for 2 if we are passing through Paraparaumu on a sales trip. It is a very comfortable self contained unit with a spa pool for guests use. Breakfast is included with juice, bread butter milk and selection of breakfast cereals left in the unit.

Once we got the door unlocked and we got in we were very surprised. Hubby was very impressed with all books on shelf. Shower was great. Supplied toiletries were brilluant. Unfortunately we didn't have time for breakfast. Had big day travel ahead and just wanted to hit the road.

Can't really think of anything

The location and the weather made such a good impact on me, after a long drive from Christhcurch and off the ferry at Wellington. The beach was immaculate on the day and when I pulled over to the place, I was stunned how beautifully everything was set up and arranged. Detailed instructions on how to operate the spa and all other necessary stuff. Amazing book shelf, and range of books. Spa was good. I would definitely recommend to my friends if they ever pass by this area.

Well, I can't think of any to be honest. It was all well set up. No rants, lol!

This is a great place for us to stay while travelling through from Wellington or the South Island. Hosts are more than happy with late check ins from ferries. Easy to get to via the motorway, no need to pay for parking or hassles with the city. Really cosy and private room with all you need.
