About your host, Sharlene
Hello, myself and my husband Ben have a passion for Tuscan properties! We have been lucky enough to purchase San Marco by the beach in Whangamata and Villa Casa Maria beside a beautiful stoney bottom river on 7 private acres near Waihi over the years.
With a passion for decorating, and love of designing, we enjoying sharing our Tuscan paradises with others to create special memories.
Both of us have enjoyed a long career within the banking industry
We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do

The place is mesmerizing!
We initially planned on going on hikes around the area but ended up doing a staycation instead. Every corner of the place is very relaxing! Definitely the break we needed to rejuvenate our mental and physical health from the hustle and bustle of the city life... definitely will be back for longer! Thanks, team and thanks Sharlene for the stay!

The Villa Casa Maria was absolutely stunning and had great amenities as well. Sharlene was great with communicating about our stay in advance and also provided very helpful information about the property to make our stay more enjoyable.
