The house was great but I had to chase up the host through Bookabach as I hadn't received any preliminary information regarding the address and access etc.

Whiritoa Holiday Home

Very spacious accomodation in a lovely location. Facilities are basic but adequate for a relaxing beach holiday. Some rooms still had cobwebs, spiders & even a cockroach to remove before making up the beds! Please be aware that this is a remote location with limited amenities, only 1 shop/cafe which closed early so driving to bigger towns is essential for eating out.

Relaxing getaway

The house is a nice tidy house perfect for a family holiday. It's not flash, showroom style, but rather a relaxed, put your feet up type of place, which we love. Plenty books on hand, managed to finish one in the few days we were there. The beach is amazing, good for the soul. Lovely sand and sound of waves crashing - couldn't ask for more to help unwind. Baby friendly - steps have a gate and balcony is secure. Nothing much busy little fingers can damage. Hosts are exceptionally nice and willing to help.
