Fantastic Place for a Family Holiday

We had a wonderful stay in this home. Easy to look after, with wonderful views. Would recommend this for a family holiday. Only ten minute walk to the beach and the fabulous Bethells Beach Cafe.

Perfect retreat

This is the perfect batch for beach holiday. Everything is as described. The walls are thin and is mentioned but lots of sun, surf, and sand and we slept well any way. No big deal when comparing to any share accommodation environment. We had my wife’s 60th weekend and it was perfect. Great views too.

Lots of space for family, good kitchen well equipped. Meter board needs birds nest cleaned out and window replaced big fire hazard! Great beach and river/lake. Just a long walk to the beach.great views and coastal breeze. Tidy but needed a good clean, gutters need to be cleaned out as grass growing in them. Great classic kiwi batch and fantastic bird life. Very peaceful. Thanks
