Great property with 2 living areas and lots of outdoor space. Stayed with 5 adults and 5 kids for a week. Direct beach access with kayaks and dinghy. Mooring out in front of the house for the boat.
Our group of 10 friends had the best long weekend at this gorgeous place. The outlook and proximity to beach was fantastic and access to kayaks etc. Beds super comfy and house set up so well. Communication was great. Many of us wanting to plan a return with our families! Thanks for the perfect weekend!
Amazing beach front property, extremely well equipped, and good communication from owner to ensure that we had everything. Perfect for our large family reunion. We really enjoyed our stay.
Stunning setting for a truly relaxing break with the owner Clive being really friendly and helpful. Everything a special family holiday should be Many thanks
This was a perfect place for our extended family and their 6 children ranging from 7 months to 8yrs old. It is set up absolutely beautifully and was a joy to go into. thanks so much for all the great communication as well.
Fantastic waterfront location, suitable for adults and children to relax in and out of the water
Clive was very informative and provides a great holiday destination which I would love to rent again.
Cherrie met us at check in and made sure we knew everything about the property.
Thanks for having us
Clive was a great communicator and excellent to deal with. Truly magical spot. Great house, well set up, and a fantastic, family friendly beach right out front. Highly recommend 😄

Fabulous beach house with swimming,fishing, bush walks, amazing wildlife, weka,Tui at doorstep
Such a Relaxing beach house with great deck and amazing views and sunsets. Wonderful place for wee children. The best experience was listening to the Kiwi calling at night and having the opportunity to see one in the wild for the first time. Great fishing and appreciated the great boat parking and mooring.🍹🐬🦆🦞🌞🌊
We had a lovely holiday at this beautiful beach! It was awesome having kayaks for the 3 of us to use, and also the dinghy to go out fishing in. The house was a comfortable place to laze around in during bad weather, but it was great to be able to look out at the beach and sea views. It was then easy to be able to go out when the weather was good. Thanks Clive!
It was awesome waking up to the ocean view in the morning. Weather turned it on for us too.
The water was crystal clear.
The wekas were a highlight.
Highly recommend.
Would love to return one day.
We had a fantastic stay at Tapeka Del Mar.
The house was well set up to accommodate our group of 11. The deck is fantastic - we pretty much ate outside every night we were there. The view from the dining table is spectacular.
So nice to be able to just walk down to the beach in under a minute and jump in the lovely safe bay. The swimming platform in the bay was a hit with the kids.
Although there has been a house added to the front section which takes away a bit of the view - the design of the front house is such that there is no privacy issues. There is still direct beachfront access and a lovely view.
Thanks for having us to stay.
The location and layout of this house made for a very relaxed holiday. Great facilities including g use of kayaks etc. beds were incredibly comfortable. Sad to leave and will definitely be back if you’ll have us!!
