Rick was a fabulous host, he made sure we had everything we needed and gave us local insight into tips for beaches.

A Perfect Stay!

We loved our stay at "Gone Coastal!" The views were gorgeous, and the house had everything we needed. We were in town from the U.S. for a family wedding, and we wanted a place that was practical but still made us feel like we were on vacation. The house was lovely and so well furnished. We highly recommend this property!

Perfect stay

This was the perfect getaway. The property is very private and the views are amazing. It’s very well appointed and has everything we needed. Being on a peninsula you get sea views from both sides and the sunsets from the hot tub are spectacular. Rick even went out of his way to find us a surfboard to borrow for our son to use at the local beach. Thanks so much we will definitely be back.

Wonderful spacious house with beautiful views

The house has all you need for a lovely holiday with lots of space, well equipped, plenty of outdoor space following the sun and comfortable beds. Rick, the owner, is very helpful and had prepared useful information about the area and the house. A great, quiet location, away from it all, but still so close to gorgeous Ocean Beach (5 min by car), fantastic walks of all levels, boat excursions and much more.

Stunning in every way

We stayed at Ricky’s property for 5 nights over New Years and it was absolutely perfect for a larger group of friends. Plenty of space, spa was amazing and made for a good activity when it wasn’t quite beach weather. We loved our time and look forward to coming back sometime! Thanks again ☺️

Beautiful retreat!

My family and I booked a weekend stay at Home Coastal, we had a group of 8 with 2 children 11 and 10. The property is fantastic, and secluded with beautiful views east and west and all day sun. Rick was a fantastic host, great to deal with and has a beautiful property. We all fit well and particularly enjoyed the open plan kitchen/dining area for family dinners. Lastly the outlook from the spa pool in the evening is amazing, we highly recommend a stay here and will be looking to book another longer stay in the near future!

Bluey’s Family and Friends

We have stayed at many properties over the years. This one is our favourite The house is private and spacious. Loads of room for parking. We had 2 cars and 2 Vans. The house is beautiful. The open plan and indoor outdoor flow makes it easy for a big group. It’s a beautiful home Everything you need for cooking and entertainment ect. The location for us was a bonus. We were able to surf at Ocean Beach (5mins away) and visit friends in Pataua South for a Birthday dinner Spa Pool overlooking Whangarei Harbour was a favourite for my teenager’s. Helped them unwind after the big days The Property owner Rick lives on the property. But in a detached private dwelling. I like that way better than an owner who doesn’t live at the residence. Because there is always something that you’ll need help with. Rick is so easy to talk to and and will do whatever he can to make your holiday special We’ll be back 🤓❤️ Bluey

Beste Entscheidung des Urlaubes

Nachdem das Wetter auf der Südinsel nicht gut vorausgesagt wurde entschieden wir uns schon früher für den Norden! Und in Kombination mit diesem Haus mehr als die richtige Entscheidung ! Die Umgebung, die Stände und insbesondere die Liegenschaft ( das Anwesen- muss man so sagen) perfekt. Danke noch an Rick für den wunderbaren Aufenthalt. Wir hatten großes Glück dieses Haus zu finden!

Magical!

We booked the property as a base to walk the Whangerei Heads track, it was perfectly located. The spa was just what we needed after a 5 hour tramp, the bach has everything you could possibly need and was perfect for our group of 6 ladies. Rick was the perfect host and made the booking process really easy.
