Best we ever had with Airbnb
★★★★★
“The little Louise is a amazing SPA-like retreat with amazing view over PIHA. Jenene put so much work in every detail that no wish was left open. The most warm welcome we ever experienced with airbnb. Treats in the fridge and a little bar welcomed us to enjoy the amazing view over beautiful PIHA. Relaxing in the Whirlpool under the incredible stars after the sunset over Lionrock was almost unreal. This experience was so fare the best we ever had with Airbnb all over the world! Thank you for this wonderful time!”

Highly recommend!!
★★★★★
Utter perfection! This place exceeded my expectations in every way. The location and view are spectacular, but to be somewhere with that outlook that was also so private felt like true luxury and blew our minds. We kept pinching ourselves that nobody could see us but we could see the world! Feels like the whole place has been designed with the guests enjoyment in mind and to take in that view at all times. The kitchen has everything you hope an airbnb will have and more, but honestly better than my things at home. It's really high spec and all the little things you want or forgot to bring are there for you or available. It's very luxe and the compendium was really helpful too. Piha is magical, but we didn't want to leave our private deck, or the comfy bed for that matter! It's a romantic couples dream spot. The hot tub and record player were icing on the cake. Excellent value for our money. Didn't want to leave and will be coming back for repeat staycations.

Views were unbeatable
★★★★★
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the little Louise’s! Jenene was the ultimate host, great communication and ensured we had everything we needed. The place was superbly stocked and the views were unbeatable. Jenene also provided a guide that we referenced many times with helpful info around town, what to do, where to eat, etc. We would happily return next time we are in Piha.

Can't wait to be back!
★★★★★
There aren't enough stars to rate the Little Louise's properly. The location is absolutely stunning and so private and peaceful. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could hope for and we can recommend ordering the cheese platter for snacking whilst sitting on the deck enjoying the view of Piha. The whole place feels so luxurious and comfortable, there is even a view of the beach from the shower! We can't recommend staying at the Little Louise's enough and we can't wait to be back!

Paradise!!
★★★★★
This was the first stop on our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect. The view is insane. Everything about the Airbnb its self has been carefully thought about. From the heated towel rack to the amazing quality sheets, you can tell they put a lot of thought into everything here.
Can’t recommend this place enough!

Great choice!
★★★★★
The little Louise is a great choice! Jenene is a considerate host who is extremely responsive and provides great advice on what to do in Piha, walks, food and fun. The home was beautifully presented and Jenene went to the next level to consider our experience in the detail of both cleanliness, comfort and hospitality. The location has amazing views, is very private and is set up for full relaxation. We enjoyed amazing walks in the ranges, lunch at Aryeh, a game of lawn bowls and sunset on Piha beach. Book and enjoy!

Road tripping around New Zealand is pretty amazing, but also very tiring! Add a few days onto your trip in Piha to recover before your (potentially long) flight home - ensuring you arrive back refreshed. 3 days here feels like a week!
