We loved staying here. It was spotlessly clean and had everything that we needed. We really appreciated the spa bath after cycling the Kawatiri cycle trail and never got tired of watching the waves. We will come again as there are so many other places nearby that we want to visit.

Thanks Helen, we were so pleased you got to do the cycle trail in spite of the weather. We would welcome you back! We love the house in all weathers. Trust your drive home wasn't too long with the slips in the gorge. Cheers Heather and Andrew

Wonderful Waves

Perfect location for us to visit West side of the Island. The house had everything we needed for our stay. This was our second visit to the Waves coming from the U.S. & one of the best rentals we have enjoyed.

Idyllic location, views and facilities. Changeable weather made the beach extra interesting to watch. We found plenty to do to make our stay worthwhile. Excellent library on the history of the area.

Fantastic house in stunning location

It would be difficult to do better - the house is great, the kitchen is well equipped, the sheets are comfy, and wow that view! Highly recommended - I’d be surprised if there was anything comparable on the west coast.

Lovely Spot, very relaxing

From the moment we walked into The Waves we felt relaxed and at home. It is very well designed with everything we needed. The view of nine mile beach is spectacular, a million dollar view for much less! Heather's communication was great, an excellent experience all round.

This is easily in our top 5 of vacation rentals. It was well appointed and very clean.

We just loved everything about the rental.... the location, the decor & amenities. A 5 star accommodation. The owner checked in with us the first day to see if we arrived safely & needed anything. That meant something and is rare with owners. She also left us a lovely gift. It was the little details that made this vacation rental excellent!

Absolutely Beautiful!

Beautiful home with a breathtaking view. We loved the big bathroom with large walk-in shower and oversized jetted tub. The kitchen was wonderful too. The hosts even called to make sure we made it there. We had a wonderful stay, even though it rained. Thanks for sharing. Deb and Bob Ohio, USA

Fabulous views.

This property is beautifully positioned with amazing views up the coast. Whilst we were there we were able to watch the rain coming in over the ocean. Very impressive. There is everything you need for a stay, you just need to bring in your food supplies. We really enjoyed our 4nights here.

Beautiful location to relax and recharge

Stunning view the moment you opened the door, this location doesn't disappoint. Abundant birdie and the sound of the ocean bring peace to the soul. There is also lots to see and do if relaxing is not your thing! Great cozy evenings in front of the fire and all the amenities you need. Will certainly be back.
