The perfect weekend getaway!
Had the best time staying at Totara Ridge! What a gem of a spot. The house was so spacious and comfortable which made us feel right at home. The ocean views were absolutely stunning—such a peaceful vibe to wake up to each day. The games room was a hit with everyone, we spent hours playing and just having a laugh. The place had everything we needed and more, from the kitchen to the amenities. Highly recommend it if you’re after a chill, private getaway with some stunning views. Will definitely be back!
