Trip down memory lane
Very homely bach with wonderful views. The kitchen was well equipped and the fire made the place cosy as it was a chilly weekend. Dity is a wonderful host and extremely accommodating. We're already talking about booking another weekend.

Whakapirau stay
We enjoyed the property which suited our babies to our seniors with close access to the beach and the wharf close by for sprat fishing. Great orientation to the view from lounge to kitchen and generous deck. Lovely flat lawn for tent if needed.

Lovely property
Lovely peaceful house with a beautiful outlook - this location and house are both perfect for a young family. Very cosy and warm. Only suggestion is that, considering the price, it would be great if towels and sheets were provided and a few more kitchen necessities for cooking. We will definitely be back though and the host was so lovely and helpful to deal with. Recommended :) Can’t wait to try the place in summer!!

The Fantastic Green House
The Green House was everything and more that my family and I could want of a rental house with close proximity to the beach, sensational views, and relaxing comfort. We were all very, very pleased with the decor, the ease of access, and sleeping arrangements to cater for our large family group. We will be back for sure.

Ataahua
From beginning to end it was hands down the best experience ...... from the first instance checking in the owner was welcoming and generous....... the property itself was everything we had hoped for and so much more... ... not just the vibe ( which was amazing ) but all the tiny touches that make a Bach a home away ( even for just a little while ) ...... the wairua ( spirit ) of whakapirau is one of peace and Aroha .... there are hidden gems waiting to be discovered....... from the poem painted on the side of the water tank down at the boat club by renowned poet Sam hunt .... to the sharing of freshly caught snapper down on the beach with locals to the glorious views that are 360 deg 24/7 ...... to the board games on offer , the comfortable sleeping arrangements and the feeling of being refreshed and revived ....... as the mokopuna said as he kissed the door goodbye...... we love you green house ❤️✌️👌
