The Auckland Beach Retreat is absolutely beautiful! The view from the balcony was gorgeous, the house is large and private, and they have great amenities. We are very grateful to have stayed here.
Fantastic location, really lovely, spacious, comfortable, well stocked house. Gorgeous views and beach access. Āwhitu Peninsula is a lovely part of the country that deserves exploring.
The host was amazing as always. She always answered her phone or returned my calls timeously.The house was neat and well maintained. This, combined with a friendly, helpful host, always brings us back to this house.
We had the most wonderful time at Awhitu. The beach down the path was so perfect for all of the kids to explore, the house has so much space for everyone to spread out and so well set up for families.
i stayed here with 8 friends for a birthday getaway and everyone loved it!! the beach was beautiful and the house provided us the perfect place for down time and socialising. thanks for letting us stay!!
We had such a great stay with the family at the Graham's Beach Bach. From the host to the location and everything in between, everything was perfect. Thank you again, we will be back 😊
Had several very pleasant days here and likely to come back again. House large clean comfortable and very well stocked. The littlies just loved the beach. Just a pity the beach access was a bit tricky, not viable for one person with a dodgy back
The property was perfect. Clean and had everything we needed for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. The photos dont do justice, the views were beautiful from the balcony. Would definitely recommend!
Great, large accomodation for a weekend away with extended family. Beautiful ocean views and hop skip and a jump to the beach. Other family members had stayed here before so recommended this to us and we would definately stay here again.
We had such a great time in Awhitu, the house is great for large groups with uts extensive balcony & lounge areas.
So close to your own private beach which is great for an early morning walk around to the boat ramp. Highly recommend staying here, host & mamager very easy to deal with too!
This is 2nd time we have been here and both times the place has been perfect. Great area for walks and 2 minutes walk to beach and 5minutes to Awhitu Winery. We hope to be back again some time soon. Thanks to the hosts as great communication, and ever thing as per the Bookabach site
Such a nice home with a private beach and plenty of outside area. The place was tidy and had lots of space to hang out communally I highly recommend! We enjoyed our stay throughly!
The property well exceeded my expectations. Was a fantastic weekend with every amenity covered and we even made it two doors down to the local winery for tasting. The beach is absolutely beautiful and we felt like we were overseas, will definitely be booking again.
Love the space and the views, the peacefulness is wonderful
