Charming 1960s Kiwi bach in peaceful Karitane, just 5 mins to beach & harbour.

Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad Sunset Karitane delivered that relaxed, beachside feeling we always hope guests experience. For anyone considering a stay, Karitane beach is just a short stroll away and the village itself has a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. We always strive to give our guests a perfect experience, so if there was anything we could have done better, we'd love to hear your thoughts as it helps us keep improving. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Thank you for the feedback and we're glad you enjoyed the property and found it good value. We do want to gently clarify for anyone reading this that the hot tub's unavailability is clearly stated in the property description, and the photo captions also note that it is not available for guest use. As it is a fixed feature of the outdoor space, it is naturally present in photos of the property, but we have done our best to ensure this is communicated transparently in both the listing description and the image captions. We appreciate guests flagging anything that could be clearer and we are always looking at ways to improve the guest experience at Sunset Karitane.

Thank you for staying at Sunset Karitane, Rebekah, and for taking the time to leave a review! We're glad you had a good stay. We always strive to give our guests a 5-star experience, so if there's anything we could have done better, we'd love to hear your thoughts — it really helps us keep improving. We hope to welcome you back again someday!

We're glad the property worked so well — the open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas are designed to give guests plenty of space to spread out and feel at home, and it's great to hear the bedrooms delivered on that front too. For anyone considering Sunset Karitane, we take every review seriously and are always working to ensure the property is the best it can be. We'd love to know if there was anything specific that fell short of a 5-star experience, as guest feedback directly shapes the improvements we make between stays. We hope to welcome you — or any future guests — back to this special little corner of Karitane soon.

Thank you for the lovely review! We're so pleased Sunset Karitane ticked all the boxes — a well-equipped kitchen, fresh linen and a clean, comfortable space are things we put a lot of care into, so it's great to hear that came through. For anyone considering a stay, Sunset Karitane is a fully fenced property set in a quiet village just minutes from the beach — ideal for those looking for a relaxed, easy coastal getaway. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Thanks for staying with us and for the kind words about the spot. Just to clarify though, the hot tub isn’t included in the listing at all; it’s not mentioned anywhere in the advertisement, so it was never part of what was offered for this stay. Sorry for any confusion there, and glad you otherwise enjoyed the location.
