What a way to end the year for us! One of our wonderful clients - who happens to have her own massage business had me (Candice) over for a well needed massage - safe to say im in so much pain itโ€™s just awesome! Healing hands by Erin Marshall is a must if youโ€™re in Hahei! She is all set up in her home/air bnb built by the VdV team! Itโ€™s beautiful, a stones throw from the beach - and she is amazing! Every little niggle I have from lugging around our youngest daughter has been well rubbed down for 2020! What a way to end the year - I got to see inside one of our builds a year on, and got a massage ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ not much more I could ask for! Hereโ€™s to 2021 ๐Ÿฅ‚ #vdvbuilders #itsbeenabigyear #workrelatedtreats #inheaveninhahei #marshallhaven #healinghands #wehavethebestclients ... See MoreSee Less

Not a bad spot at all! ๐Ÿคฉ Farm and hillside views to one side, and those ocean views ... perfection! Neatly perched on the rise for a lookout - windows in, roof on - almost able to be locked up for the holidays!
