Great stay last year. Would have loved to be back again this year but the dates we needed were already booked. So handy to shops and local pub. Centrally located between Hastings, Napier & Havelock. Two toilets and showers were great for two families.

Good Family Beach Stay

The house was very comfortable for our family reunion - the kids got their own room! The local Foursquare store was less than a block away and wine tasting just down the road. We rented bicycles, fed penguins in Napier, and loved the location.

Great property for a group, right on the beach..

We had a wee hiccup to start with, where the cleaning team had forgotten to clean before our arrival, but the property manager sorted everything out promptly, and the stay itself was great. Plenty of room for everyone, and good kitchen tools and supplies so we could cook and serve meals. Lovely hearing the sounds of the sea as you fall asleep! Would happily stay again anytime.
