Amazing kiwi bach. Well equipped. Enjoyed doing a puzzel from the cupboard as weather was not great.

Large family get together. Having the park opposite allowed young ones to be safely supervised.

A lovely home away from home

It was a lovely place in a prime location. As a family we felt right at home, enjoying the ocean view from the lounge. With the park and beach near, it made life so much easier with both babies and a child. Hope to visit again soon.

Great Location for Children

We had a great stay here and was a great location. Just felt the bedding and pillow cleanliness let this place down. But we still had a fabulous holiday, kids had a ball on the park and the beach.

A beautiful spot

Such a great place for a family/friend catch up. Right across the road from the park and and the beach, lots to see and space to spread. The house was very cute and retro but exceptionally clean and tidy. We loved it and will hopefully be back! Thank you!

Great location !

Great location being right across from the beach and park, shops not too far away aswel. Host was accommodating with giving us late check out aswel, the only thing I could comment on was furniture is pretty out dated, would suit with more modern day stuff but you can tell slowly but surely its getting there, will definitely stay again in future.

Weaving weekend

A group of women all connected in one way or another through whānau ties working together to help a prepare things necessary to complete a korowai. It was uplifting, relaxing and a perfect venue inside and outside (beach and sea within walking dustance) for such a gathering. Would def recommend and atay again
