Te Mahia Resort is a stunning escape nestled right by the water's edge, offering spacious and beautifully appointed accommodations. I was massively impressed by the warm hospitality from the owners, who truly go above and beyond for their guests. While the dining experience was enjoyable, I found the portion sizes a bit on the smaller side. However, the serenity and breathtaking views make it a remarkable getaway, particularly for relaxation or special occasions.

What a wonderful stay! The accommodation was spacious and well-equipped, offering stunning views right out to the Sound. The staff were incredibly helpful and ensured we had a fantastic experience. While the small cafe provided delicious woodfired pizzas, a full restaurant would have been a nice addition. Overall, it was a peaceful getaway with a unique atmosphere, although it's essential to bring your own supplies as there are limited options nearby.
