Karaka beach rentals

We had to find temporary accommodation while house repairs were being done, and we were so lucky to find Craig and Megan with their pristine bach. While we weren't on holiday and still had work and school drop offs, we couldn't have picked a more suitable residence. The bach has literally everything you need and more. From USB wall outlets, to blazingly fast WiFi speeds, and super comfortable beds we felt right at home. While also being able to wake up to incredible ocean views that made you think maybe there really is a God, right on our doorstep too! We had our own privacy right from day one. Craig and Megan would periodically text us making sure everything was perfect for our stay. 10/10 hosts. If you're gonna book a bach, book this one. Be it for a holiday kayaking on the ocean, or a working holiday to escape the city. It's worth every penny.

Property was above our expectation thanks. Host was friendly and showed interest in our stay and made us feel at home. Quiet retreat well worth it. Thanks

Absolutely loved staying here. Short walk over the road to the beach. Really appreciated the Easter eggs and all the other snacks left for me. Host was very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely stay again.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at ‘Once Upon A Tide ‘. It was such a peaceful retreat and the views from All the rooms are stunning. The house if probably the cleanest I have stayed in and the decor and extra bits like Homemade cookies were a lovely welcome. We were only there for less than 24hrs, but it felt a lot longer and we will definitely be back!

Delightful spot with views out over the Manukau estuary. Quiet and peaceful.

i stayed here with 8 friends for a birthday getaway and everyone loved it!! the beach was beautiful and the house provided us the perfect place for down time and socialising. thanks for letting us stay!!

A very relaxing weekend, terrific location

Had a great time with my friends at this property. When we arrived some of the beds haven’t been made by the cleaners. I contacted the owner and she came over to tidy everything up for us. Super friendly! Recommend
