Best stay in big bay

We were delighted with our stay at big bay. We were extremely impressed with the early check in and check out times and with how well set up the house was (had everything we could ever think of) and was perfect for two families. The photos really don't do the place justice, the view and location. 10/10, we will definitely be back

A beautiful spot close to Auckland

We loved having the sandy beach only a few metres from the large deck at the front of the house. Sadly there was a bit of a storm and quite a lot of rain when we stayed so we weren’t able to sit outside on the deck, but the lounge and dining area was comfy and spacious and we enjoyed watching the storm rage outside!! Even at low tide there is a lovely view from the house. It would be a very safe place for kids to play and swim. A total plus for us was being able to take our dog and go for walks on the beach. The house was very clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. The only downside for us is that there weren’t 2 queen side beds inside the house, but that’s only our personal preference. There was a second queen size bed in the sleepout. The large sleepout was very well insulated with plywood walls and new carpet. This was a really nice place to relax and I’d like to come back some time.

Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022

Response from VrboOwner on 23 May, 2022
