VALUE FOR MONEY
Our aim is to provide value for your money. We are able to do this, we hope, because:-
1. Almost all of our bookings are made directly with us by our guests.
2. We purchased this, our family property, more than 20 years ago when land prices were much lower.
3. Over time we hope to eliminate expenses that do nothing to "add value" to to your experience (eg advertising) but rather spend money on developing our beachfront retreat as a place which will bring relaxation, enjoyment and leave nothing but happy memories.
4. Adrift is run almost entirely by members of our extended family (or "whanau" as it is known in Maori) who all aim to bring you the very best in personal service and most importantly, we enjoy what we do!
Our reasonable rack rates (compared to similar standard accommodation) and our low-season discount (more than 50%) lead to a recent article published in the travel section of The Guardian Newspaper, a large British newspaper, this travel article lists us as one of the Top 10 affordable pads in New Zealand.
