Come & enjoy a holiday in this quiet, sundrenched bach.
Everything you need is within walking distance. 2 minute, flat walk to the end of the street and you're at the beautiful Ngunguru estuary. Here you can launch your boat or just relax under the big Pohutakawa tree while the kids explore the rockpools or swing under the tree.
Grab a SUP or Kayak and paddle (free for guests to use) across to the stunning sandspit. Only 800 metres to the local dairy, takeaways and cafe.

A few mins drive from some of the most stunning beaches in NZ, Matapouri, Whale Bay and Sandy Bay. World class fishing, surfing and diving at your doorstep. Launch your boat and explore Goat island and the Poor Knights.

Large 2 story, 2 bedroom self contained unit, attached to the main house of the owners but separated by a large 3 bay shed. Full size kitchen with dishwasher, oven, stove, fridge.

Plenty of off street parking

Kakariki by the sea

Clean and spacious and everything we needed. The view associated with the property online was not taken from the property- so we thought it was closer to the beach. We did bump our heads on the bunk beads in the night :-( Otherwise we were comfy.

Great location loads of space

We had a great few days here with Mark and Kirsty. There were only 2 of us but there is plenty of room for up to 6. Loads of space and a plus point ….no TV. Was well kitted out and had most things we needed. Good location close to some of the best beaches you will find and also peace and quiet .
