About the host
Hosted by Mike Briden
We want to share our family-friendly home, which is loved by all our children and grandchildren, with you to give you a chance to learn why Pataua South is such a special place to spend your holidays. Thirty seconds walk to the estuary.
Lush garden, and an outdoor barbeque. Perfect for families and friends.

Why they chose this property
Follow your nose to the estuary, Frogtown Beach or paddle across the estuary to hit the waves at the surf beach.
Bring your boat (yes, we have a boat ramp where you can launch from.) If the fish aren't biting, see the sights. During the summer season, you can ride your bikes to Tahi Cafe to get your caffeine fix or ride to the motor camp shop for freshly baked bread, buns, fish& chips if you need to stock up; they do have a small line of groceries. Parua Bay Four Square is 15 minutes away.
