Great house just near the beach

We had a lovely stay at this fantastic spacious house and the host was really great to deal with. We didn't have great weather but we were able to have a few swims and loved that the beach was so close. The large living areas and well stocked kitchen were a real bonus as we ended up spending more time inside than outside. We did need to find a place to park our boat as we weren't so keen to just have it on the main road but we luckily knew someone nearby. Altogether this is a great place to stay.

Loved it so much - we will be back

Just the most perfect home to stay with friends and family. Several separate lounge areas and huge living room spaces for the kids and adults to hang out. Loved the huge kitchen for cooking together. The indoor fire is just so fabulous. We had a wonderful time. The hosts were perfect. Thanks a million. We will be back.

Paradise awaits

We thoroughly loved our stay in this beautiful home. A spacious, magnificent place with every amenity you need. One could not ask for a better location or environment to relax in. We loved the uninterrupted views of the ocean and the spectacular sunrises. The owners are extremely approachable, helpful and welcoming. I thoroughly recommend a stay here without any hesitation at all. Definitely a home we would love to go back to in the future.

Absolute Gem

We booked this Bach (house) as a group of mates as we were attending a wedding in Gisborne. The house was brilliant, with amazing views of the ocean, plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the comfort that this place has to offer. Most importantly the host was brilliant and would highly recommend. Hope to return again in the future!

The house was beautiful, and a gorgeous location just across the road form the beach. There are huge living areas, and is a high standard. The only negative was the road was quite busy and we found it quite noisy. We are being finiticky, it is a great property.
