Yes the home was wonderful and thoroughly recommend.Super clean modernised and tidy and a great spacious home layout for family and children.Walking distance to the beautiful beach.We would love to go back for another holiday soon.
Short break to the coast. The house was in a great location with quick access to the beach. Nice garden for the dog and kids to play in. We will be back again!
A fabulous, beach themed cottage, sunny, warm and beautifully presented. Two generous double bedrooms plus bunk room, two newly renovated bathrooms (a real bonus having two toilets!), a new kitchen, a spacious and light living room with a great log burner, and a big fenced back yard for the dog. Fantastic. Easy walk to the lagoon and to the beach. Hope to be back.
Great kiwi bach with great interior styling. Always appreciate it when owners allow pets as a holiday is so much easier when you can take the pooch with you, and he loved the fenced back yard and beach to go exploring on!

Why they chose this property
We purchased Fantail Folly after falling in love with the house, beach and area when we stayed there a couple of times with our family. It was hard to find pet friendly fully fenced accommodation and this ticks all the boxes.
What makes this property unique
Peaceful and relaxing beach house with amenities close by in the township of Waikouaiti. Snuggle by the fire in the winter or sit in the garden in the sunshine in the summer and watch the cheeky Fantails flying around.
