Always enjoy our stay in Kaawhia

I regularly book this accommodation for an annual tribal event in Kaawhia, it's always tidy, cozy and spacious for us all who stay each year. Patsy is so lovely, easy to communicate with and always accommodating. It's a real joy and privilege to stay here every year. Highly recommend to large groups and families.

Beautiful whare!

We had a wonderful stay in Kawhia - Patsy’s bach is the perfect place for a lovely weekend get away. Plenty of space for everyone and a gorgeous garden with lots of sun to enjoy. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Thank you Patsy for making it so easy for us. Will definitely be back again!

Unforgettable experience!

The house is spacious, well-furnished and well-equipped. Kawhia is a fascinating settlement steeped in history, and the beaches and bays are superb. Patsy shared her love of her hometown, as well as the history of the area. She was an exceptional host, and we thank her sincerely.

Home away, from home if you want to get away

Great communication from Patsy, even after our plans changed unexpectedly because of the Covid lockdown. The house was better than anticipated, had everything we needed, heaps of room inside for us 5 adults, lots of parking space and spotless. Thanks so much for your hospitality Patsy we all loved our weekend away and will be back.

Well worth the drive

The property was tidy and well kept and the house spacious, comfortable and well equipped. There were even spades provided for visiting the hot water beach! The scenery out to Kawhia is beautiful and well worth the drive. Also loved swimming at Ocean Beach. Patsy is delightful - very friendly and welcoming. Our first visit to Kawhia was most enjoyable and we certainly hope to return in the future.

Roomy house

Great location in a quite street, roomy house with comfy beds. The owner was lovely and helpful and mentioned places to see. Sea views were small but patsy did mention she was going to cut back some trees. I must mention the shower was a 2/10 for pressure. Other than that we had a very pleasant stay.Thank you Patsy 😊

Great host, good location, would stay again.

Our host Patsy was very helpful and called ahead before we arrived to assist us with the how and when of check-in. She even came to the house when our plans changed and we arrived early. She was very friendly and helpful, suggesting we keep our bikes safe in the garage as an extra. Bed was comfy, kitchen had all of the necessaries, good spot and the new deck roof at the rear made a great spot to relax outside, no matter the weather. Great trip.

Happy non - fishers!

A super clean, tidy, and comfortable place to stay in laid back Kawhia, The ever changing view over the harbour as the tide rolled in and out was very relaxing and even though the fishing trip was cancelled due to the big swell we had some quality time to chill out. Many thanks to Patsy, our hostess for the part she played in making our stay very special. Jenny

What a beautiful home, so comfortable and welcoming after a long stressful week at work. My sister inlaw was supposed to come from Hastings but couldn't make it at the last minute due to health reasons so my brother in-law and partner stayed. Sorry we didn't get to meet Patsy but we all thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. instead

Just Perfect

Had two superb days here on our second trip to Kawhia. Love the very clean and tidy house, the views and the three lawn mowers who came to visit! (sheep) Patsy, our host, made everything so easy adding to a wonderful feeling of relaxation. Beds very comfortable, kitchen very easy to work in. We were all most reluctant to leave and return to town on Sunday. Thank you so much for our lovely happy time, from all four of us. Jenny
