Great escape

The house was just perfect for our whānau. Not too new or perfect which made us feel more comfortable and not stress about everything on the whare. So close to the beach and camp ground. Beds all comfortable also. Would definitely stay again.

We are a young farming family living near Marokopa.

Why they chose this property

Our bach is our little getaway close to home. We bought it just before starting our family. When we bought it, it needed a fair amount of TLC. We are slowly working to making it our own, with the help of your bookings, hopefully we can keep up our hard work.
