About the host

Hosted by Kerry and Luke Peacock

Host profile image
We have this beautiful peace of paradise that we would love to share with the rest of NZ.
We are NZ, Oakura locals. We have two beautiful girls that soak in all that Oakura have to offer.
We enjoy the outdoors and everything involved with the ocean.

Why they chose this property

Nestled five mins up in the hills of Oakura is the tranquil kaitake ranges. Surrounded by farmland and native bush. Picture sitting with a coffee in hand listening to the birdsong. If you’re lucky you can hear the 60 odd kiwi that have been released in the kaitake ranges.

What makes this property unique

5 mins from the famous Oakura beach but far enough away to have the peace and quite of nature. Sit back turn off and take it all in.
