Family Oldies

Nine older members of my family came together at the property. The view is breathtaking and house great if you want a casual holiday. It had everything we needed, was comfortable and right on the beach. Our host was so good to deal with. We all had a fabulous time and would definitely consider going back again.

Wedding

We found the venue to be a great base for our family wedding. It was close to town and other facilities. The house itself was great with a lovely bach feel. Would’ve been nice to be. able to stay longer and appreciate the views of the ocean more. Thanks

View 10/10

The property is tidy and equipped with everything you need. It's an old school kiwi batch, so don't expect boutique accommodation, might even discribe as rustic. The bottom bathroom and bedroom is probably more suited to kids or anyone happy to stay very basic. In saying that even ground floor has a beautiful view. We had a lovely stay and ended up all sleeping upstairs. The view is absolutely breathtaking! Close to Flat White and some shops too.

The Perfect Place

Great location right on the beach with views of the sea. Great home with everything you need to relax and chill out, plenty of space to accommodate a large group or families. Great communication and written instructions received prior to arrival. Easy walk to Flat White Cafe for dinner. Would absolutely recommend .
