Mokino: Absolutely SENSATIONAL views !!!

""Best view in Mokau""

Upgraded Kiwi Bach , 5 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, (Sleeps 12)
Fabulous South and West views over Mokau Beach all the way past White Cliffs to Mt Taranaki, which our builder claims has the "Best view in Mokau". Stroll on spacious, wild and exhilarating black sand beaches with bleached driftwood and big surf. Warm and very cozy whatever the season and love the Sundowners ! You really won't want to go home.
_
"Mokino" is situated in a friendly cluster of 7 houses midway between Mokau and Awakino (each 3mins by car). Shared foot track provides direct access to the beach below, a right turn will bring you to a small cave and waterfall. Great fishing from the beach (kite/torpedo/drone) or cast a line at the Mokau or Awakino river mouths, also whitebait during season (September 1 to October 30). Excellent beach and cliff walks in the area (beach islands and loads of caves to explore). At high tide Mokau river has sheltered swimming/boating, particularly when sea is rough.

Bring your personal items, food, bed linen (sheets and pillow cases, maybe sleeping bags for kids) & towels. Plenty of Duvets, Blankets & Pillows are available. Great for 2 families, with 12 beds (3x queen doubles, 2x double/single bunks), and a further 2+ possible

Fantastic space to be in. The whitebait fritters from Mokau were top class, and the museum was a great way to spend some time. Fishing just down from the batch was...a challenge, but a fantastic beach for the dogs to run on. Would love to come back!!

Beautiful view from house we all love it. Very homie home. Very hot up top, cooler down stairs. Could'nt leave windows open at night cos off bugs. Nothing mod about the house, just a normal family bach home. But we loved it.

Very nice location and incredible views

This property is all about the views and the location. The house is very simple and comfortable. It would be a little cramped if more than six people were staying and they had to stay inside for any length of time. The downstairs sleeping area is somewhat barren. The property owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Again, this property is all about location and the incredible views.

Absolutely epic

This is an awesome kiwi bach! Loved the open plan kitchen/dining/lounge was heaps of space! Absolutely epic views from the beautiful big windows and awesome outside deck! Small (steep) stroll to the beach which is so peaceful and a lovely spot to swim. Couldn’t rate this place any higher I will definitely be going back with my kid for a family weekend away! Richard was so easy to communicate with and fixed up one problem we had straight away. Thanks so much for sharing your epic bach with us!

First vrbo stay and last…

I recently stayed at this VRBO property and had a very disappointing experience. The place was very dirty and unpleasant as soon as we walked in. Additionally, the cleanliness overall was terrible with dirty furniture and unwashed linens/blankets. Also, the two bedrooms upstairs are not connected to the 3 bedrooms downstairs. I would not recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable stay.

Love this coast!

Great stay in an area close to our hearts. We have family in Tongaporutu so this bach was perfect as not too far down the road! Loved the character and family history of Mokino, and that view! Wow! Even after lots of wild weather recently, we easily managed the track down to the beach. Appreciate the work locals must do here to maintain it. Bring your own duvets for downstairs (in winter) and if the lights aren’t going, check the circuit board outside by the garage. We had no upstairs lights on arrival but found a circuit had tripped. Pity we couldn’t stay longer. Must be awesome in summer. (Great dinner too at the Awakino pub on Friday night! Cheers)
