Great iconic style kiwi bach. Amazing views!!! A great spot to explore all the area has to offer. Stayed with our large family and dog, accommodated us well, with everything we needed. Easy communication with host. Will definitely be coming back.
Unbeatable views, fully equipped and comfortable. We've stayed here many times over the years and we'll keep coming back. Our kids have made great memories here.
We loved our stay at Mokino! The view is second to none- from the comfort of beds even! We were there for a teachers retreat; the view, the comfort and the homely feeling really helped us relax and refresh. Thank you for sharing your home with us :-)
We absolutely loved our stay at Mokino. The location is incredible, with stunning views and a fantastic trail that leads straight down to the beach. It was a perfect place for us and our doggies, and we really appreciated how pet-friendly and welcoming it was.Richard was wonderful to deal with and very helpful with any questions we had. The bach is also conveniently close to the beautiful Three Sisters Walk, which was a real highlight for us. And the views… truly breathtaking — you never get tired of them!We highly recommend Mokino and would happily stay there again.
Was a great Bach loved our stay, views are stunning,, host was so great to deal with we had to change our dates last minute due to a family emergency and Richard was very accomodating without charging us any extra. We will be back made much great memories with my family here.
We had a wonderful stay at Mokino, the weather was beautiful and we really enjoyed sitting on the deck looking out at the ocean, topped off with a gin and tonic!Long walks on the beach and nice yarn with a local,we felt super refreshed after our stay. Thanks for the later check out time, it made a big difference.
Absolutely stunning views! Loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves below. Enjoyed by all! Comfortable beds, had everything we needed for a great family getaway.
