About the host
Hosted by Mark Fairey
We are a same-sex couple since 1995. We used to live in Wellington, but moved to Pataua and lived here permanently. Just recently we have decided to experience country life as well as city life. So we are bouncing between the properties. We rent out whatever property we are not living in.
Why they chose this property
You will love staying here on the waterfront at Pataua South. It is so quiet and peaceful with the sound of the waves and birdlife. We find we are outside most of the time, with the property having over 100sqm of decking and extensive lawn.
Dogs really enjoy being here, too, as they are 10 metres from the water in the estuary and 400 metres to Frogtown beach, an off-leash beach except for January.
Because of flexible accommodation options, please enquire.
What makes this property unique
So close to the water. Fully fenced with dog run and accepts multiple pets. Plenty of space regardless of how many people are here.
