Perfect beach house

The weather wasn’t our friend for this visit to Omaha but the house more than made up for it, loads of space, well stocked kitchen and a fabulous spa. That plus the great outdoor room and proximity to the beach made it a very pleasurable stay.

Simply superb!

If you are looking for somewhere to stay at Omaha Beach (NZ) with your family this is simply superb. The location is very quiet and a short walk to the beach. The outdoor lounge and spa were an added bonus to an extremely well-appointed beach house. Given the opportunity we would stay here again.

Great house for holiday with extended family

This house was perfect for an inter-generational family holiday. The kids loved the bunk beds and having their own space to play and hang out. We all enjoyed eating outside and toasting marshmallows over the fire. The house is close to the beach and tennis courts and playground. We all had a great time and left feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Fabulous beach house

Everything went so well for our week away, from initial and subsequent contact with the owner, access arrangements and the beautiful house itself. Close to the beach but located in a very quiet street which was just what we needed. Only two of us stayed there but with the bunk room at one end of the house it would work well for a family. If the weather’s good, open the big sliding doors either side of the living room to really enjoy the feeling of space. Superb.

The best wedding weekend

We booked this property for our wedding weekend in Matakana and this was the house for the bridal party as well as the bridesmaids the day of our wedding. This is one of the most beautiful properties; clean, open, spacious with a fire place and multiple areas to hang out. We also utilised the spa numerous times. The kitchen was stocked with staples and ample cutlery for a small family gathering I.e., plenty of cups, plates, glasses ect. Brenda was very responsive and provided simple instructions to maximise our stay. Thank you so much and we can’t wait to stay there again!

Amazing Break

A great property. Couldn't fault anything. All the information and requirements clearly detailed. The Spa Pool was great in this weather. A children's playground nearby. The beach just a beautiful short stroll. Food is home delivered from Warkworth. The coffee machine and the condiments just further added to a great stay. Brenda was easy to communicate with and gave us 2 hours extra for checkout as the cleaners were not due until later. Thanks for letting us enjoy your beautiful bach Brenda !! Hope to come again in the near future

It is a great house for extended families, as master bedrooms upstairs and downstairs have their own bathrooms.

Children love the bunks and their own lounge and TV. The outdoor covered room with its own fireplace, is sheltered and cool in summer. The house is designed for relaxing family holidays, or friends to enjoy the house, its amenities, the beach and the surrounding Omaha and Matakana region. All downstairs bedrooms open to views of the gardens or hills.

What makes this property unique

Guests are free to use kitchen condiments for cooking. There is a fully-fenced sheltered and private spa pool which appeals all year around. Tennis Courts are nearby. The stunning, safe, sandy beach is 100 metres away. Heat pumps and open fireplaces make the house cosy in winter.
