The place is quite easy to find. We met Pete up the driveway to the house. We found him very obliging, friendly and informative, great person. The property was even better than we imagined. the house was very clean, spacious, well furnished, all the amenities you could possibly need and amazing views. We absolutely loved our stay and it felt really homely. We didn't really want to leave and will recommend to other friends of ours.

Clean, tidy and comfortable room and bed.Hosts were friendly and helpful.Wonderful views from the property, with good access to town.Peaceful - a great place to chill out!

Nice little house, short drive from WhangamataHouse is very sweet and nicely presentedDriveway could be challenging for some - although easy enough with a reversing camera

Great place for a night away. Can walk to pub for meal. Amazing service and food there too! Place had everything we need. Thanks

Jenny was a lovely host who contacted us by phone before our scheduled stay to share details of the b-n-b. Did we like the A2 milk which they sourced from a nearby farm? Did we have any special dietary requirements for the continental breakfast, and so on. Just generally we had a good chat so that it was a pleasure to meet her in person finally and to be greeted with bowls of fresh fruit from the property, and Jenny's sourdough bread when he say down to breakfast in the morning. We stayed overnight in this nicely outfitted b-n-b to attend a party about 6 km distant at the Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre. We'd recommend this b-n-b and can we also recommend a visit to the shorebird centre. It has hides for viewing a wide range of shorebirds, and in particular does international work to preserve the feeding grounds along the shores of the Yalu River - part Chinese, part North Korean - for the godwits as they journey each year from New Zealand Aotearoa to Alaska to breed. I think Jenny sometimes does voluntary work down at the centre. I met Maarten the day of our departure, - a musician, and we had a good chat around that. Interesting that he works with sound, because perhaps the dominant feeling we took away from this lovely Waitakaruru property was how silent the night was. A quiet boon for suburban Aucklanders . . .

We were welcomed by Gordon and his lovely wife with some freshly baked cookies and a very warm welcome. The property is absolutely stunning and makes you feel like you're far away from everything with the sound of the river flowing, bird song and surrounded by lush bush, the best part is town is only a 5 min drive away. If you are looking for a place to ground yourself and unwind from city life this is the place to go, it's only a cruisy 3 hour drive from Auckland and the scenery only gets better the closer you get. The cottage is cosy, warm and kitted out with everything you need with cooking facilities, BBQ and super comfy bed. They even went the extra mile with some complimentary beverages not to mention the delicious warm cookies (we turned up just at the right time). We highly recommend staying here 😊 treat yourself!

We stayed at this wonderful bach for 2 weeks with our children. The house is in a hill with an absolutely incredible view of the water that can be seen from the lounge windows and the main bedroom - very calming. The house itself was well equipped and very comfy, just very easy and we made it through the cyclone in full comfort but enjoyed the days of sunshine more. Onemana is a very pretty beach town and it’s proximity to Whangamata meant that other beach and food options were in easy reach. All in all a very pleasant stay and I highly recommend this bach.

The hosts are lovely beautiful place to be very enjoyable highly recommend to all Cheers Kris and Mal.
