The story
A family home
opened up when we're not in it.
We bought The Deck in 2019. The bones were good. The view was the reason. Over the years we've kept the things that make it feel like a real home, and refreshed the things that wear out — new carpet through the bedrooms, a brand-new 900mm cooktop, a day bed that gets more use than it should.
Liss looks after the linens and the pantry. Trent answers the messages and stocks the firewood in winter. We use the place ourselves a few times a year, and open it up when we're not in it.
Three hundred and twenty-nine guests have stayed so far. About one in five has already booked again.

- Dogs welcome. Not in the carpeted bedrooms, please.
- Smoking allowed on the deck only. Not inside.
- No parties. Quiet hours late at night out of respect for neighbours.
