Weekend away

We had a great stay, the kids and myself enjoyed the short walk to the beach, aswell as the tennis court. Lorraine was lovely to deal with, the home itself was clean and modern yet still had a quirky batch feeling to it . Everything needed was there to use at our convince. Awesome weekend away we will definitely be back 🙂

Lovely comfotable property in great setting. Close to beach, backing onto greenery - with the sound of the waves, birdsong, and chirping cicadas, it’s good for the soul!

Kairakau Gem

The property was absolutely stunning. My partner and children had an amazing weekend. Just a short walk to the beach. The beds were so comfy it felt like we were sleeping on the clouds. Plenty of space for the kids to run around and they loved the puzzles and board games. Overall amazing stay. I would happily book this bach time and time again. It was amazing.

A nice relaxed get away.

The house was quite nicely laid out, with lots of living area. It was unfortunate that the weather was not very nice so we did spend a lot of time inside. We enjoyed or stay.

Cosy Bach with a loved family feel.

We had a lovely stay in this charming Bach. The fire really warmed the whole place nicely. Would happily stay for much longer. Breakfast outside on the deck with the morning sun is lovely, and with all the birds is magic. We will definitely be back in the warmer months if we can.
