Family Friendly
A perfect spot for our three families to spend Christmas. With two three bedroom houses the young adults went into one and the oldies into the other. Very well quipped kitchens meant Christmas catering was a breeze. Some great beach toys in the garage. Lovely beaches nearby. All in all a fantastic property.

Amazing getaway
This property is just perfect. Great location to beach. We booked both houses with our family of 10. This was by far the best set out we have had on our holidays around the country.

Extended family getaway
We had 12 people (3 generations) of family staying together so the property was ideal for that with the two separate houses joined by the carport and veranda. Beach access was easy through the holiday park and great facilities for cooking, washing, socialising etc.

Family bliss
We so enjoyed our stay at Pohara. The 2 units meant that the families could have space from each other when needed, but the lounge room, dining and outdoor tables in unit #2 were large enough to seat all 11 of us for together time. We had teething issue with a water pump and the owner was extremely responsive and communicated action promptly. The beach is beautiful. We enjoyed daily swimming and the short walk to the shop for real fruit ice-creams. Overall a lovely relaxing stay. Thank you

Blessed
Beautiful Golden Bay. A true Kiwi holiday, so close to the beach were we had our paddle boards and swam. Everything we needed in our house were we could spread out with our grown up children and grand children. So much easier than tents :) Thank you for our first family Christmas away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Westenra

Host profile image
This is a family owned property that we now as an extended family love and would love to share with others.
The property creates the opportunity for a group to gather, spend time, relax in the sunshine yet still have ample space to spread out and not feel confined

Why they chose this property

Golden Bay is a magical place to visit and stay at, the region boasts beautiful safe beaches, sunshine and warmth, numerous walks/bike rides and ample activities should you not wish to be just relaxing and rejuvenating the soul.

What makes this property unique

This property has the advantage of 2 baches that are separate but attached thus giving a larger group the opportunity to be together yet with space. Having two kitchens, two living areas, two outdoor entertaining areas and two bathrooms takes any pressure off a group gathered.
It is extremely close to the beach (2 minute walk) and all cafes, bars, shop, playground to name but a few!
