We were 5 adults and 1 child visiting family who live in Waikenae Beach. Our 5 adults include 30-40 years of age who like the local nightlife, the walkable location to several bars and restaurants plus the great playground for the 6 year old was wonderful! This place is perfect, the views, the layout, the perfectly equipped kitchen, the location, the safety all of it was perfect. We arrived to a sparkling clean home, the ground level room with bathroom was perfect for my youngest son who doesn’t enjoy a 5am wake up call from his niece. The middle level was fantastic for my older son, his wife and 6 year old daughter, Mimi and grandpa don’t mind the visits from the 6 year old. The top layer had a wonderful layout, the comfy couch that everyone could fit on, the patio with the gorgeous views and the wonderful kitchen complete with everything you need to cook including spices, oils and more. Communication was excellent, in our excitement, we did not read the well written black binder of info and our hosts graciously answered every question ever though all the info was in the black book!! My husband and I have already discussed renting it for longer on our next trip to see my in-laws. Fabulous, do not hesitate, just book it. P.s. we loved the burger place, Rays pies and fries, 180 degree cafe for breakfasts, the lovely pharmacy with the sweetest staff and the bottle-O who helped my DIL and I try countless NZ wines! Moby Dickens for kids is adorable!
