Fantastic host who was relaxed and welcoming. Perfect accomodation for a family group with friends. Everything we needed with a great outdoors for socialising.
It was all wonderful, right down to the Christmas tree! The kitchen is so well-equipped, and the grounds are beautiful. Very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. Viv is the perfect hostess
We loved everything about our stay. The photos are beautiful & accurate but still don't do it justice. We were very happy with the accommodation, the views are stunning, the location is incredible & the kayaking is out of this world. Viv is a great host with the perfect blend of friendly & present but in no way intrusive. It was very hard to leave & we will definitely be back!
Kairakau Beach is a fantastic place with an incredible landscape. The Quarters is a lovely bach; lots of room, very comfortable and well equipped. The fire in the living area is great for cooler weather. Mo & Viv were very helpful, kind and responsive. We had a wonderful holiday.
Loved our stay and being able to show our overseas family beautiful Kairakau, and we were treated to a couple days of great weather. The place had everything we needed.
A lovely spot. Great proximity to the river and the beach and welcoming interiors. The rooms are all separate, connected by a covered porch. Great friendly hospitality from the hosts.
