The Perfect Getaway!

Really loved our stay at this property! The location was brilliant in that it was only a 10 minute walk to the beach and had the most amazing bakery just around the corner. The house was fully stocked with everything you needed and very comfy beds too. We will return!

Hidden gem in Waikanae

A comfortable beach house. Easy walk to the beach and local shops and cafes. Lovely big outdoor deck to relax on and tons of outdoor space. The pod which provided an extra bedroom and bathroom was a great addition.

Quiet family time away

Great property well located and would be amazing in the summer with the large grass area out the back. Unfortunately we where here in the winter as a polar blast came through. Still the heating coped, but meant 5 adults and a one year old were stuck inside. Only word of caution - the house has amazing collection of different things - ok for older children but very tempting for a 1 year old that was keen to explore.

Great outdoor space

* Great outdoor spaces for entertaining including a huge lawn for outdoor cricket or soccer. The rooms were spacious, with lovely bedding. The kitchen had everything you needed. Great selection of board games. * I loved the Christian sayings and cross in the house that made it special. The only downside was the blinds in the cottage weren’t full length so only went ¾ of the way down and did not cover the ranch sliders cross ways but other than that it was lovely!!
