Take some time out to stroll along the esplanade reserve and listen to the abundant birdlife, or take a relaxing dip in the clear waters of Whangateau Harbour. Enjoy an old style feed of fresh fish and chips followed by a rolled icecream from the Point Wells General Store on the corner. Perhaps take the cycle trail to Omaha or Matakana.

The Abbey was a lovely space to be in. It was clean, well appointed, roomy and the beds were very comfortable. Thanks to Andrew for the timely communications and easy booking process.
A great spot to explore the region. The house was very comfortable and spacious. Very well located for nearby bike trails, walks, vineyards and beaches.
We stayed at the Abbey for a short break, and it did not disappoint. The place is lovely to spend time in, beds are comfy, it's spacious, the park down the road was great for our daughter, we loved walking around the neighbourhood and there is lots to do in the area.
Enjoyed this lovely place - really spacious, very clean and tidy, great for families. Handy 1 min walk to superette/takeaways and less than 10 mins to beach. Close drive to Matakana and Omaha. Really lovely spot, highly recommend

Lovely comfortable and quiet apartment. Very handy to Four Square and Fish and Chips. Excellent communications. With off street parking for a couple of cars.
We had a fabulous time exploring Point Wells, Omaha and Matakana while our son golfed. Great accommodation, very spacious and comfortable. Very approachable hosts.
The property is great for a small family looking to experience what the area has to offer. It's a short drive from most places and a stones throw to a great store that does burgers, fish and chips etc.
Andrew was great to communicate with, very much recommend this house!
Very spacious and loved the tranquil quiet location and easy walk to the Point Wells reserve. Not far to drive to Omaha Beach and Matakana. General Store just a few steps away which does a great coffee from local Matakana beans.
We loved this cottage, it was well positioned for sun on the deck and the open space inside. The key was where i was told it would be and it was lovely and clean.
Great property with helpful friendly hosts, who responded quickly to couple of small things. Very secluded, close to the shop and water. Comfy beds and great layout for hanging out. Top notch.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful boutique property. We enjoyed the spaciousness, comfortable beds, lovely hot shower with excellent pressure. Full kitchen facilitates with full sized refrigerator and a dishwasher. Very quiet area, and a great General Store at the corner of the street. We highly recommend this property and look forward to returning.
This spacious, clean, very well equipped and extremely comfortable home allows for a most relaxing getaway. The village has a lovely feel to it, wonderful footpaths and two parks, we were sad to leave but look forward to returning!
Property was presented well and accurate to listing.Quiet and peaceful, everything you needed and handy to the village store.Hosts were helpful and friendly and we enjoyed our stay.Only thing Ivwould add is that the listing agency has their phone number wrong!
Actually stayed at the place over the road, 3 bedroom. Fantastic place. Andrew was a great host 👍 easy to get hold of and solved any concerns immediately 👍👍
