Holiday rentals near Ward Observatory

A great place to stay as we visited family and friends in the areaWonderful to have an outdoor space to wander when not visiting

The house was lovely, and felt like a home. It had a lovely garden with herbs and fruit trees including lots of fejoas which was a real treat. Would stay again. Thanks!

We had a wonderful stay at Sunset Escape – Kai Iwi. It’s a cosy, well-maintained property that easily accommodated our group of 14, made up of three families with kids. The house was clean, spacious, and fully equipped with all the amenities we needed.The highlight was definitely the stunning view of the beach and ocean – absolutely perfect for anyone who loves being near the sea. The property felt private and peaceful, with no disturbances from neighboring houses.Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beachside escape with family or friends.

What a lovely spot.So clean and fresh.Once unpacked we were welcomed by the gentle retriever and cat.Really quiet and restful.Welcomed each morning by the cat waiting at a window for a head scratch. Next time we sre down that way we will stay again.Host was awesome.

Peaceful and the ideal spot to unwind.

Peaceful, quiet, private, and funky. Outdoor bath is a gem. The beds are super comfy. The birdlife is outstanding. There's natives of course, but the peacocks - along with a brash crackle of cockatoos - are outstanding to watch.

Extremely welcoming hosts. Lots of homely touches. Lovely gardens and artwork. Luxurious salt water pool. Extremely pleasant stay. Highly recommend.

Fabulous property! Amazing views, quick walk to the beach, had all we needed.
