About this property

Mokino: Sensational views - in all directions !!!

Upgraded Kiwi Bach , 5 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, (Sleeps 12)
Absolutely fabulous South and West views over Mokau Beach all the way past White Cliffs to Mt Taranaki, which our builder claims has the "Best view in Mokau". Stroll on spacious, wild and exhilarating beaches with bleached driftwood and big surf. Warm and very cozy whatever the season and love the Sundowners ! You really won't want to go home.
_
"Mokino" is situated in a friendly cluster of 7 houses midway between Mokau and Awakino (3mins by car). Shared foot track provides direct access to the beach below, a right turn will bring you to a small cave and waterfall. Great fishing from the beach (kite/torpedo) or cast a line at the Mokau or Awakino river mouths, also whitebait during season (September 1 to October 30). Excellent beach and cliff walks in the area (beach islands and loads of caves to explore). At high tide Mokau river has sheltered swimming/boating, particularly when sea is rough.
_
Our family bach is well equipped - just bring your personal items, food, towels and linen (sheets and pillow cases - sleeping bags for kids). Linen packs are available on request (linen fee). Great for 2 families, with 12 beds (3x queen doubles, 2x double/single bunks), and a further 2+ possible.

Great Kiwi Bach
We always felt that Mokino had a charm and a warm friendly family feel about it, comfortable, and a very Kiwi atmosphere about it. But you can’t always rely on nature to provide a clear evening to view Mt Taranaki or perfect weather to stay on the beach for hours but that is part of the pleasure of staying at Mokino. We will always want to return.

Family Easter holiday
This was ideal for our family stay. We had lovely weather so the outside access to downstairs was no problem The only thing I can suggest is that there is some information regarding laundry……. Is there somewhere to do it locally? We managed fine but it is a consideration with young children. Thanks for the stay it was as great
