The garage is lined and insulated and would sleep countless kids, also options to pitch a tent on the lawn.

Property was clean and tidy.Enjoyed our stay. Problem was in advertising property. All costs should be advertised as one total value. Frustrating to find after viewing nightly rate that the add ons made it quite an expensive holiday. Frustratingto

This is situated in a great location. Would be good to have heaters on every room. One heater wasn’t working and other room didn’t have one. Otherwise it was a great stay.

Awesome stay in Opunake

Loved our stay at this property. Very homely. Great communication and a perfect location. Kitchen sink was a bit dirty with a bit of meat in the drain and the bathroom sink had toothpaste in it - maybe sinks had been forgotten while cleaning up. Everything else was clean and tidy. I did think that a lamp would be handy next to the bed 😊 all in all we would definitely stay again. Thank you very much.

An amazing home away from home.

We absolutely loved our stay. Communication with owner was quick and easy. The location was great, and allowed us to walk to beach and an easy drive to explore walking tracks around Mount Taranaki. Table tennis was awesome in the garage as it rained some of our stay. Has a lovely working kitchen. And was very warm from heat pump and wall heaters in rooms.
