Thanks so much Samantha for the lovely review. I am so pleased you all enjoyed yourselves. Didn't see you out on the kayaks but think I saw you walking along the beach probably all to your self. Thanks for coming. Kind regards Tracey Lankshear.

Family fun complete with dog

We had such a great time away at Tracey’s fantastic cabins...amazing to be so close to the water with a stunning lookout. Kids loved having their own cabin! And such a special holiday having our dog with us - he was truly living his best life every day!

Fantastic place to unwind and relax

We were looking for somewhere to relax and unwind at the end of a busy year and that is exactly what we got. Beautiful and tranquil location with all the amenities you need. Feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, but it was still easy to get to local supermarket for supplies etc as it's only a ten minute drive. Would highly recommend this property if you want to get away from it all and take some time out from the craziness of everyday life. Also we could bring our two small dogs who loved it as well. Tracey was a friendly and welcoming host and communications were all very easy. Thanks so much for letting us share your little piece of paradise.

Great location with all the basics you need

The view from the cabins is great, especially in the mornings and evenings, when you can see the sun rise and set. The cabins are basic, but equipped with everything you need. The pots and pans could use an update, but they function. We had a great time!

Perfect escape from city life

This is a delightful waterfront position to enjoy a break from the city life. We loved the private two cabin configuration. The are well furnished and we appreciated the full size fridge and dishwasher. The beds are comfy and we used the large gas bbq every day. We spent only four nights here but felt like we had a super R&R break. It was great to amble down to the beach for a walk at low tide or a swim at high tide. We would definitely return to this place again!

This was our second visit and we have rebooked again. We love it here, so secluded and relaxing. The weather this time wasn't great but we didn't care, we just chilled out. A wonderful location for a couple or two couples who get on really well.

It was tempting to not provide an honest review - we don't want to encourage others to stay here as we want it all for ourselves! We loved our stay here. It was private and secluded and so close to the sea. Absolutely perfect location. It was also so close to Omokoroa with its supermarket and terrific boat club bistro restaurant. The accommodation was excellent - equipped will all we needed. Highly recommended.

Great spot to get away from it all. Cabins were great - had everything you needed. Outlook was stunning and only a 10 min drive to the Omokoroa boat ramp (although you can launch just up the beach if the tides right). Tracey, the host, is awesome - very friendly and was really engaging with our kids - letting them feed all the farm animals. Highly recommended.
