Lovely and comfortable

We had a fabulous time in Okains bay. The property was as expected or better. We loved the heated flooring and such beautiful views from every room. Definitely 5 stars, and we hope to return one day. Thanks!!

Beautiful spot

Of all the places our family of four stayed in New Zealand, this was our favorite. Nicely appointed, with some great art and comfortable beds, super centrally located, good water and sunset views, and surprisingly quiet for being above the waterfront storefronts.

Met all expectations

We stayed 3 nights which was great for us toward the end of our three weeks in New Zealand. Perfect location for us to be able to both relax at the house and explore the town and the surrounding area. Highly recommended property and place to visit.

End of the road charmer, read the fine print

We spent a few days in this retro beach house enjoying the popular village of Akoroa. It was a great location to walk to the village, but be staying in a very quiet, serene home with a terrific garden and expansive view. My only disappointment was having to pay for “renting” linens and towels, a first in five trips to New Zealand.

Stunning view in spacious home

Property was spacious, clean, with a truly outstanding view and amenities. Hosts were gracious with good and responsive communications. One of the best stays we had in NZ and would highly recommend.
