Ideal spot for a summer break, with beach, town and estuary all within close proximity, and a nice quiet location. May well head back next year but for a few more days.
Thank you for a great stay in Whangamata. We found this property a really cool bach, with everything our family needed. It was clean, tidy, well-equipped and comfortable. It was also safe for our young family and dog.Great communication and flexibility by the owner too.Thank you!
absolutely perfect place for us and our dog. felt comfortable him roaming the yard knowing he couldnt get out.
The place had everything we needed and right in the middle of town.
A nice place to stay for that break away but close enough to hear the ocean at night. A great spot for us and our fur baby to spend the weekend. Easy walk to the beach. Great communication and house set up with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing weekend. Ultra fragrant plants outside providing a nice surprise.
A lovely weekend away, with our family and our dog. Full fenced section, which was great for the dog. The place had everything we needed for our time away. Thank you, we will be back. If we could give feedback, the only thing would be to prune back the trees near the decking area.
Great to be able to have the dog with us. Birds were amazing. Good location. Only negative was the neighbouring glaring at us when were backing in. After that we parked on road so not ideal
Great little beach themed Kiwi bach. Perfect for our weekend away.
Very well presented and had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend away.
Not too far from estuary and beach, fairy and.takeaways down the road, short drive to town/shops/cafes/restaurants.
Easy check in process and fast and friendly communication from Nicky the host.
We would love to come stay again, thank you for having us and letting us bring our little doggie Layla
Instead of buying presents for my many grandchildren this year i booked a bach for a memorable experience. Each family had a week with me at the beautiful whangamata beach. We all loved it. Thankyou to the owners for having us.

Fantastic - quiet - and relaxing stay.
Limited turning area for parking - trees could be trimmed to provide larger area.
Bathroom cold tap also needs a new washer - as drips.
Good basic bach, space a little tight inside if more than 4 people but sleep out was clean and tidy. Quite an awkward driveway if you have a big car or more than 1 car. Nice big deck but should have a railing to keep toddlers from falling. Great to take the dogs.
Nice weekend away as we enjoyed the walk to beach and dairy close by . Great space on deck, great space in sleepout for teenagers . Bedding comfortable for our family of 5. Use of air con to cool or heat us great bonus. Appreciated it was dog friendly but the driveway gate was easy for them to slip thru large gate rails.Happily our dog does stay close to us all the time, but needed to be tied up or confined if we left the property without her. Thanks for excellent communication and extra items available for use at the holiday home.
4th Time back, nice to see improvements each time we come. The air con was heaven with the humid weather this time. Only downside was the lawns, making the place look untidy. The grass appeared not to have been mowed for a number of weeks and was quite long in places all around the edge of the house, by the bins and especially out back by the clothes line where it was almost knee height. Every time you went outside you felt the urge to mow the lawn, which is not ideal on holiday.
