Lazy Daze is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay, quiet, remote, right on the water. A super comfy, lived-in vibe, not fancy or flashy, but a home away from home that was easy to settle into. Having access to the water for kayaking, launching the boat and fishing right off the back yard was a huge bonus! The host was incredibly welcoming and friendly. We loved our time there and would happily stay again!
We enjoyed our stay, Pete and Patty were perfect hosts We received fresh produce from the garden and Pete shared some local history about our ancestry with us.
The whole holiday was perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better time or location. Peter and Patty were friendly and helpful and Bev was an excellent communicator. Everything we needed was there. For those wanting a quiet, gentle, family oriented time it was absolutely perfect, couldn't ask for more. Thank you.
We have been enjoying Kennedy Bay and Lazy Daze for over 15 years now and regard it as our special family holiday spot and holds a special place in our kids summer memories
Peter is an excellent host and guide to the area
Well recommended for a relaxing stress free break
Thanks Pete once again 👍
Well supplied rustic house with interesting artwork. We enjoyed swimming and kayaking, and relaxing. Hosts were extremely kind, helpful, and friendly. The location is fairly remote but we loved the peaceful surroundings and being right on the edge of the estuary.
Lovely spot, right on the waterfront with plenty of watersport based amenities.
Nice large kitchen, hosts were very pleasant, let us borrow some sauce for dinner and access to the vege garden.
Great experience, will return
Once again - a Christmas to remember - quiet location, with a homely feel. Friendly hosts. Highly recommended if you want a real break away from reality and busy life. Even some fresh honey and fish thrown in. One of our favourite places to go
A proper kiwi batch holiday everything everyone needs and away from everyone, had one of the best getaways I’ve had in years. The owners were just super people and made us feel welcome and looked after us. The daily outlook over nursery was pleasing on the eye, the beautiful greens and all the different trees and shrimps and things we really enjoyed our stay and will be looking to stay there again hopefully regards to everyone who thinks about it Ian
I organised this trip for my daughter and her friends as a 30th bday present. I joined them for a couple of days and didn't want to leave.
The house has so much character. Perfect outdoor setting also to just be able to chill. The local beach was stunning.
We had a lovely few days at this property. Very congenial host, Peter, was welcoming and helpful. The bach is right on the water and offers very peaceful outlook watching the tide come in. Loved the eclectic art collection and the wonderful array of cushions. My Labrador really enjoyed the garden which was fully fenced. A beautiful part of the world. Would go back.
Peaceful, great swimming beach two minutes away, perfect for our dogs as the property was fully fenced, house was a little busy, a lot going on with different colours, patterns, pictures, but ok…..if you don’t mind. Great place for a family just wanting to chill. Shops only 30mins drive. We will definitely book again :)
