The Pink Pipi Karitane
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, 208 reviews
"Fantastic bach right on the estuary. Great for a family weekend away. Kitchen and bathroom have been renovated and modernised. Heat pump, heaters and fire made the bach very warm and cosy. Karitane has a wonderful peninsula walk and the boys enjoyed fishing off the wharf and kayaking in the estuary."

“A SPECTACULAR & RARE FIND ON THE ABSOLUTE BEACH FRONT“
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, 1 review
"We booked the house for my birthday. My plan was to relax and have some quality time with family and our two dogs. The location is spectacular and the house was warm, clean and very thoughtfully appointed. The amenities were great, from stove to coffee machine. The one and only disappointment was the tv, but who needs a tv being in such a beautiful spot! A huge bonus point I want to give for friendliness, responsiveness and great communication with the owner/manager! Well done! We’ll be back!"

"Glenn's place is paradise! The view, the house, the astronomy lesson in a spa overlooking the ocean, and on our last night we had a Southern Lights solar spectacular that we don't think we will ever see again. 360 degrees solar light show. Glenn is so helpful and we really had everything we need! This stay was beyond words really."

Forest Hill Farm Summ
6.0 out of 10, 1 review
"The tiny home was perfectly fine, amenities were good, and the bunny watching from the window was very cute. However the email that arrived just prior to check-in that advised the use of earplugs to block the sound of traffic and trains…well it was good advice, but arrived a little too late. The perpetual falling of objects from the trees overhead onto the metal roof of the house all together with the train rumbling through and trucks thundering by, lead to a less than decent sleep.

Kakanui Cube
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, 30 reviews
"We had a great stay at the Kakanui Cube. The house is well-designed, modern, clean, with all the amenities you need (laundry, sharp knives, comfortable bed, plenty of space). We slept so well with the sea air nearby, and woke up early each morning to catch the magnificent sunrises. Equally enjoyable are the sunsets — the way Kakanui is situated you can enjoy both over the ocean. The house is in a rural area so WiFi bandwidth can be an issue — it may not be practical to expect to be on zoom calls...
