Convenient location, close to the boat ramp with fish cleaning facilities. Log burner and firewood was a bonus in mid winter temperatures.

I chose this property to take my elderly parents for a wee holiday. My Dad has mobility issues but this house worked well, a few steps to get in, and once there the shower and toilet were easy for him to use.The fire was great, kept us cozy. Short walk to the beach and the shop next door. My husband and I really enjoyed the Goat Hill track, and the new, not yet finished, shared biking/ walking track was a delight.Looking forward to going back with the grandkids.

Great location, great bach

We had a great stay here. The listing is as decribed and the host is awesome with her communication. The place was clean and had lots of useful utensils that other places often dont have (cheese slicer, scissors etc). As the weather was not great for us we played games and did a jigsaw puzzle that was in the house. I would recommend this property.

Great little home

Owner was awesome to deal with and made the whole process easy. Excellent spot. Clean tidy home with all you need. Shop right next door for the things you forgot. We came to try out the boat ramp with our new boat (which was successful).Will definitely book here again and get out to experience the amazing fishing we hear about in Okiwi Bay.
