Very clean and well set up studio apartment. Private, quiet, lovely linen and towels & a wonderful view of the waves within a stones throw. Spacious bathroom with an excellent shower. Slept like a log & enjoyed walks on the beach watching the sunrise. Better than Waikiki!

Relaxing getaway
We had a perfect stay at Carnie and Ivan's place. The house is ideally located right on the beach and has everything you need. The studio is located under the main house yet is very private and has spectacular views of the ocean. We were there for eight nights and felt right at home. The bed is comfortable, with loads of pillow choices and a well-stocked kitchenette. My husband enjoyed Ivan's local knowledge and they both went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Highly recommended.

Shngr-la on Wainue Beach
Carnie and Ivan have created magic in the their ground-floor ocean-view suite under their beautiful home. We lived inside that magic for six nights and this hideway was the threshold for the magic waiting outside, through the trees, to the beach and beyond. I cannot over state what a couple's haven this is!

We visited Gisborne for the activities but the stay has been the major highlight. Weather was super friendly and we got to witness two majestic sunrises from the perfect adjoining Wainui beach. Those were super friendly and had great recommendations. Will definitely be our choice for staying if available next time we visit Gisborne.

We cannot fault this property and the owners, the only thing we would note is that be aware of a number of steps to the main property and a slope down to the bach.
