Summer Escape

We had a wonderful stay in Waimarama and the bach was perfect for our family. For the rainy day the common space was great for games and lounging about with books. For the sunny days, the beach was just a short walk away and the yard provided shade when we were done with sun. The kitchen was well equiped and having the BBQ to use was fantastic. Emma was a great host and was quick to respond to our questions.

Good for dogs

Comfortable for us. Good for the dogs. Good fenced area, as neither of ours are jumpers. Nice to have hard floors so we didn’t have to stress too much about sandy paws. Nice short walk to the beach. Very communicative & helpful owner.

Weekend stay

I had good contact with the property manager always prompt with replies. Property was nice and easy to find a nice home.. my mum and her 3 sisters were very thankful to have them this home away from the hustle and bustle of the birthday that we had at the marae. Somewhere they could settle and get a good nights sleep.

A wonderful stay with a fantastic responsive host

Had a fantastic holiday here and Emma was lovely and very responsive. Spent a lovely long weekend here with family and the location was a pleasant walk away from the beach, with great facilities in case there was a rainy day, which we were lucky enough to not have! :)

Easter break

Great spot to relax and watch the world go by, or walk to the beach which is 5 minutes away. The property is well set up with everything you need in the kitchen, and the fully fenced section was awesome for our dog too. We would definitely look to stay here again. Thank you.
