About this property

Charming Waharau seaside holiday house close to regional park.

This location (1h20m from central Auckland) is perfect to relax and unwind or to be active with walking, swimming (boulder beach), biking, kayaking, or fishing. The sea is in front of you and the view of the Coromandel Peninsula across the Firth of Thames is stunning. The upstairs living room, kitchen and dining face the sea and on this level there there are two bedrooms, and a bathroom . Two of the four bedrooms, and a bathroom, are downstairs. On the upper level decks north and east provides a delightful perch over the vast bay. There are lawns at the front and the back of the house. The Waharau Regional Park just down the road offers several flat and hilly tracks for varying levels of fitness, and - for real walking enthusiasts - the Hunua range is accessible from the park. The closest shop is 9 kms south at Kaiaua, a seaside village where you can rent a bike, buy fish & chips, petrol and there is a pub for drinks or meals. Thames township is a 45 minute drive, and the gorgeous Tapapakanga (coastal) Regional Park is 12 minutes north by car.

This is a wonderful place to stay for many reasons! Beautiful views of the ocean from the living areas--we spent lots of time just sitting, relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Generous check-in and check-out times. Generous supplies of necessary items, and lots of lovely extra touches too. Spacious comfortable bedrooms on two levels give extra privacy, and having two bathrooms is great. Prompt and pleasant communication with our host. We will definitely stay here again--thanks so much!

Sharmain is an extremely hospitable host that provided all that was required and then some. There were rock shoes to borrow so we could easily navigate the oyster shell covered rocks - however there is a sandy path into the ocean that looks as if it has been cultivated and I would not be surprised if it were. There is a pantry with basics that is extremely helpful (as well as sustainable) and the house itself is comfortable, beautiful and felt like home. Thank you Sharmain! I will most definitely return x
