Staying in Kawhia

We have stayed in this property before and will definitely stay there again. Its all you could want in a B&B, all the amenities you are likely to need plus a few. The owners are easy to deal with and lovely people. The area is easy to drive around and get to places well worth seeing. Definitely recommend this property

Well appointed, handy and good beds

Ray is a helpful person. The unit is actually better than the online photos. The fridge is a fridge freezer now and the microwave sits on top of it. There's a nice breakfast bar opposite the kitchen bench and 2 sofas in the lounge. It's a short walk to the shops and wharf. The unit is private and well supplied, for example, we needed scissors and found some in the unit. There are plenty of plates and cutlery. There is a selection of cereals, tea and coffee, and 2 moccona ( I think) coffee sachets ( I like coffee). My wife added she liked the shower. Got a good sleep. Everyone happy (mum, dad, 16yrs and 11yrs). Thanks Ray, all the best. We had a good break.

Kawhia weekend

Monty's BB was an excellent choice for our weekend stay in Kawhia. From the ease of booking to our arrival & departure. Accommodation was very well laid out and had everything we needed. It was a lovely peaceful location with just a quick 10 minute walk into town. We especially enjoyed the outdoor BBQ area.Our host, Monty, recommended some sites to visit & a day ride on the motorbike. We took his advice and had an awesome day out.Would also recommend a visit to the Boat club for a drink & a meal with some great views.

Relaxed tranquility

This accommodation is conveniently located just outside of Kawhia ( a relaxed stroll away). The 2 bedroom unit is nice, clean and quite new. We thought it perfect for a short stay. We appreciated the BBQ outside as well as the screens on some of the doors and windows. Ray gave some friendly advice about nearby
