Relaxed stay on the beachfront

Very beautiful views of the beach from the property with the beach at your doorstep. Our younger children enjoyed the fun beds in the kids room and the bedding throughout the house was thought cosy by all. Lots of thoughtful touches by the hosts including towels galore and treats in the kitchen. We enjoyed our stay and really loved this private spot on the beach, marking our first trip to Papamoa a memorable one.

Could not have a better view

The kids loved their bedroom and thought it was the best. Accommodated all excellently for meals and get togethers. Very close to IGA and coffee shops for our fussy coffee person...so very relaxing and should of booked a few more days just for us... Property owners where close and handy which was great if we needed anything and where available if we needed anything.

Fabulous beach escape!

Walking through the front door and looking straight out into the ocean is a wow moment! House was fabulous. Proximity to the water meant little people could be outside enjoying the beach and always within our view. Wonderful family moments. Thank you for sharing your little slice of paradise. Appreciate the great communication from hosts.

Awesome beach house with impeccable hosting

Even though the weather was shocking for our whole stay, the property had everything we needed to make us feel like we’re at home. The beach house is in a fantastic location, just a short journey to some really good shops, cafe & artisan bakery. The Indian take out is one of the best too. Kate & Nick are awesome hosts too and always available if needed. We’d love to come back and experience some good weather, however finding some availability may prove difficult.

Great week for all three generations

We had a really enjoyable stay at the Beach House. Grandparents, parents and kids all really enjoyed it. The house was easily big enough for everyone to have their own space, while still being sociable. Everything in the house was high quality and it was well prepared for us, with lots of nice touches (coffee beans in the cupboard, wine in the fridge, plenty of towels for bath, beach, etc). The owners set up a WhatsApp group for us when we checked in and answered any questions quickly. We’d definitely recommend for families looking for a quality beach house with fantastic views, right on the beach!!

Thanks Brendan, It was a pleasure hosting you and your family! We love bringing families together. There is that other house behind if ever you need even extra space- another time perhaps! :-) Have a wonderful year ahead! Cheers, Kate

True dream bach

The property did not disappoint- the owners really did think of everything and the location was a dream!!!!!!! True waterfront, easy to keep eye out on kids and fishing rods. Al fresco dining at every meal time, puzzles and games to keep kids busy indoors, everything was just perfect! Close to a large 4 squares which came in handy for all the little things we wanted. Thank you very much! Highly recommend to others.

We could not have asked for a better time at this beach bach. Everything was perfect and we enjoyed every minute here.

A slice of paradise

We had a magical stay at this Bach. The hosts were super friendly and hospitable. The beach on the doorstep is a dream and the house had more than enough space to cater for our group. We walked in the beach, fished and walked up the mount. The little movie theatre around the corner is so cute, definitely worth a try. It is a good drive to the mount so nice and relaxing out of the hustle and bustle. I couldn’t recommend it enough

Gorgeous beach house

We had such a lovely stay here with family! The location was absolutely perfect and the house itself was immaculate. We have 5 young children and they adored the bunk room. There are a few stairs inside so we had to watch our crawling baby, but there were enough of us there that it wasn’t an issue. We would stay again in a heart beat, thanks so much Kate and Nick! What a little piece of paradise.

A stunning property right on the beach. Lovely neighbours, friendly people coming and going past the house so you don’t feel isolated. The house has been fitted with a gorgeous new kitchen. The bedrooms and furnishings were beautifully styled. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely go back.
