We loved our time here. Perfect location. Our kids don't get away on holiday too much and they absolutely loved it. Having the use of the outside room for extra bedding and space is very handy.

Great house for family stay in prime location

An excellent house for all the family to stay. Location is ideal - a quick walk to the estuary and shop. Nice quiet area. The fire makes the house cosy (and hot) on the cooler nights. This will be first choice whenever the entire family stay at Whanga.
