"Great property for a large group. We had 9 people and it was excellent, very versatile for a mixed group of couples and singles. It's really well insulated so once the fire had heated the place up, it stayed toasty warm during our rather cold winter stay. "

"Lovely place to chill out. Beach a few minutes drive."

"Absolutely enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable, handy to our family. I did not want to leave,enjoyed it so much."

"Great view of the ocean, beach access just across the lawn, in a peaceful, quiet surrounding with privacy. The studio is smallish but has the essentials, and its terrace is a very nice place to spend time on. The owners are kind, helpful and pleasant to communicate to. Highly recommended for couples who want to unwind on beach outside town, yet not far away from shops/restaurants. "

"Plenty of room for everyone, booked for 4 but only 3 stayed, great secure parking at back, convenient location in town, just noisy from traffic, which gave the guys a restless first night, aside from that, they're happy to stay again"

"Great location, bach needs reno."

"My wife said it was one of her favourite homes and location to stay in ever. "

"Such an amazing spot! Will definitely be back!"

"This is a true old style Kiwi bach, a bit scruffy and well worn/used. But that is its beauty and authenticity. Staying by the beach in a more remote part of Aotearoa, I do not want a super-swish, Auckland style apartment. The area is stunningly beautiful, especially Whanarua Bay itself. But there seem to be undertones of local conflict over who can fish, how and where. So be careful and sensitive."
