About this property

Perfect for Family & Friends - Fantastic spacious beach house

This large sunny holiday home is close to the beach and a perfect place for families or groups to enjoy a relaxing break. There are no TV's or computers but a lovely sunny deck and garden with plenty of outdoor games. For rainy days there are loads of books, games and puzzles and a ping pong table.

Otaki Beach is a beautiful beach in a sunny settlement. There is a surf lifesaving club (so children can swim between the flags). The house is a short walk from the local store and cafe and is directly opposite a fantastic playground. It is a short drive or bike ride from all that Otaki has to offer including outlet shopping, great walks at Otaki Forks and along the river, horse riding, surfing and some fabulous cafes.

The house includes 4 bedrooms with King beds which can each be separated into two single beds. There is also a kids sleeping area with 2 single beds and 2 trundle beds and an upstairs living area with a single bed. All bedrooms are located upstairs.

There are two separate bathrooms - one upstairs and one downstairs. Along with separate laundry.

Beach Retreat
Perfect home for a family beach getaway with all the mod cons you could possibly need. Fantastic bonus having table tennis in the garage, loads of board games, puzzles and a play park across the road. Just a few minutes walk to the beach was fantastic! With so many comfy bedrooms to choose from, the kids enjoyed spreading out across the house.

Nice large house. Good location Furniture was very tired and in need of updating.Ranchslider was broken and a note to say getting fixed but who knows how long that’s been.Beds are not king size but singles pushed together so not as advertised. Also the duvets weren’t the right size for the beds.

We had a great time here. Incredible selection of books and games, big kitchen for cooking family dinner, super comfortable beds, plenty of firewood to keep cosy with the wood stove. Really well supplied with necessaries (cleaning gear, towels and bedding, kitchen, laundry & toilet things as well. Great comms with the hosts: clear expectations and descriptions. We will recommend this place and stay there again!

Wonderful time away
The house had lots of spaces to relax in, very clean and well set up with indoor games and lots of books to relax with. A handy walk to the beach with boogie boards available to use. Overall it was a very relaxing private setting for our family gathering.

This is a lovely property with plenty of room for everyone. Ping ping was enjoyed by all and we got to play a few of your games as well. Days were sunny so we enjoyed time on the deck, but appreciated the fire on the cooler nights. Thanks so much. Nicki

Great Place to gather family
We had a terrific time with 8 adults and 3 littlies. The kids loved the park and the beach, both of which were so conveniently close. We found the house comfortable, not so pristine that we were scared behave like we were at home. Enough private space for children to be put to bed while others carried on with their plans. The children made best use of the scooters,taking us to the beach where we built a "castle" with drift wood on the beach. A well stocked pantry made meals simple as all the basics were there. Thanks so much.

Liked the numerous rooms
I rented the property for attendance at a family funeral. Very large property with lots of separate rooms, which was good for a group of adults (one who snores terribly) Some cracks in the windows and quite a bit of stuff sort of lying around but on the whole it was fine and served our purpose well. Enjoyed the time spent in the garden.
