Fantastic location
Fantastic location, just over the road from beautiful Ligar Bay. So much fun at the beach and in the lagoon and close to Totaranui for day trips and Takaka for supplies. Great outdoor area to enjoy the sun and had everything we needed.

Great spot
Very happy with our stay, house was tidy and great size for 4 adults 1x 3 year old and 1x 4 month old. Super safe for kids and right by the beach. Only feedback would be the shower pressure was lacking and our king sheets didn't fit the king beds but other than that great stay. Thanks!

I live 2 blocks from a beach but staying directly across the road was way way better. I also loved the way the front doors and windows opened right up.

Perfect location to watch the view and enjoy the sun
We had a lovely stay. The house was big enough for 5 adults to each have their own space in the living area. The kitchen was well equipped and the oven worked well. The house could have better photos on line as I think the house was better than the photos.

Great location for families
Had a brilliant holiday here with young kids and extended family. So close to the beach, which was great for rock pools at low tide and swimming at high tide. Spent a lot of time on the beautiful deck and bbqing in the front garden. Would love to stay again.

Loved our stay at Ligar Bay. Not much we could fault, only thing we could’ve done with was a fire guard and oven mitts! Otherwise a very well appointed place in a fantastic location. Thanks
