We recently enjoyed a five-day stay at Moir Point Magic and had an excellent experience. The property was clean, private, and well-appointed, with stunning views. Check-in and check-out were both seamless, making for a truly relaxing holiday. We would happily return and highly recommend it to others.

Beautiful location

Really lovely house with most amazing view. Better than the photos on line. Well equipped holiday home. Plenty of space for a small family. Nice and quiet down the end of a long drive nestled in bush. Walk up and down steps to the estuary below is a great work out. Highly recommend this house.

A wonderful place to relax.

This Bach was absolutely the best home during our 10 day visit to New Zealand. We walked in and were overwhelmed by the stunning views of the estuary and the ocean. We could could not have found a better place to unwind and relax, especially watching the sunrise every morning. The location was ideal. The Bach felt very private yet a short drive to restaurants and shops. Overall it it felt like a treasured home and we were lucky enough to be allowed to spend a few nights. Also a shout out to the host. He was attentive and quickly solved any issue with a warm friendly manner.

Amazing Views - can look for days

Photos do not do justice to the views or the house! The views are spectacular, the house is in such a quiet spot that you hear nothing but the birds singing - while being minutes away from an excellent playground and Supermarket. The house has everything, is very clean and tidy, and is much more stylish/tasteful on the inside than the photos show. The short walk to the water and the use of the kayaks is a fantastic bonus. We can not wait for an opportunity to stay here again.

Enjoyable Stay at Moir Point Magic

A tidy beach house in a great location with deck looking out over the estuary. Could have sat there all day enjoying the tidal changes in the estuary. Very peaceful.

Beautiful Holiday House

We really enjoyed our stay ~ and would love to go back! The house has a lovely holiday beach vibe and a good set up. The views are absolutely amazing. The deck is fenced which meant we could enjoy the views while our little one wondered about safely. Such a lovely beautiful piece of paradise. We’re so glad we stayed.
