Owners were very accommodating allowing for early check in and late checkout, the property was nice and clean it had all the facilities we needed. Was a great get away for us.
Fabulous property with great sea views. Perfect for our whanau to gather, share good food and conversations. The outdoor area was a perfect place for the cousins to chat and enjoy, kitchen area was awesome too, perfect for a large group to sit and chat. Plenty of parking a bonus, beds very comfortable and a really warm house too. Information pack was a nice addition to our stay although the Wifi password information needs to be updated and there was no coffee maker but we had great coffee at the local cafe in Opononi and Rawene. Overall we all really enjoyed our time there and Will definitely be back.
We enjoyed the lovely stretch of beach over the road. The Bach was homely, simple but very comfortable and warm. We loved exploring the area. Would definitely come back 😊
Definitely enjoyed our stay, everything was absolutely perfect & exceeded my expectations! The view was obviously a bonus. Would be surely to book again in the future.
Lovely home, spacious for dining and spending time catching up with family.
All the essentials you need with a beautiful view, sunsets from the kitchen table and easy access to beautiful beach.
Wonderful that we could bring the furry family member too. Thank you!
Great views of the Hokianga harbour and sand dunes.
Very comfortable and clean accommodation with everything that we needed supplied (apart from sheets and bath towels, although this was disclosed in the listing). I would definitely recommend this property.
A great location overlooking Omapere. Perfect spot for our American guests - homely and comfortable. Everything very much as explained. Great deck for afternoon wine and cheese. Thanks.
Great bach with plenty of room for our 5 and good kitchen. Lovely views and deck and so handy to the beach for sunset walks. Lovely base to explore this quiet area. A little too close to road meant ear plugs needed. Another heater needed for bedrooms in winter.
House was amazing. Everything you needed for a stay away. Amenities were on point, right down to even having a coffee machine, air fryer and a bottle of milk in the fridge. AMAZING. Communication was fluid and only a txt away. Definitely recommend this place to all. Felt like a home away from home.
Lovely place to stay, amazing views of the hokianga harbour, fantastic sunsets, great area, friendly locals, the place had everything we needed, we were all comfortable, unable to connect to wifi or get freeview going, but the property manager refunded us some money towards personal data. Only downfall for us, was that even though the property is pet friendly, its not fenced so we couldnt allow our fur baby to freely be outside and just relax, with the main road just below a worry, however great areas across the road for walks and the beach.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location is excellent. The home is charming. There were a number of items in need of repair such as the bathroom light and the lock box. The cleaning ladies didn't do a great job as there was a desiccated reptile on the bedroom floor!

Great location. Fabulous view and walking distance to the Sands for a great meal. House a little tired and inconvenient to have to take towels , linen and take the rubbish with you, particularly when you’re on a bike
