Real bach, comfortable

Felt right at home. Couldn't get to the beach (possibly due to tides) but Kaiiwi Lakes were a lovely surprise on a hot afternoon. Well appointed and comfortable

Detox

It's a small town and the house is nice and cosy and simple. Kitchen was nice and simple and had all the things you needed. Bathroom and toilet was simple and tidy. Highly recommend you do groceries at Dargaville before coming here! Otherwise you'll end up eating out which isn't bad but a drive to anywhere. Omamari is a very quiet place. The way to the nearby beach is close except you will get wet to get to the beach. Unless you've got a 4WD which looks like heaps of fun. Insanely quiet beach, but not suitable for swimming. Beautiful and long, perfect for a run. If you're keen to just do nothing and relax and detox, this is a good place for it! No wifi, but there is TV. No washing machine but you could hand wash if you need. The best thing was the night sky - stars were insane! Easy check in and communication.

Cosy little stay

Overall a nice little place to stay, good little spot to get to lakes around the area. It was very hot during our stay and only had one fan in the house so it did get a little uncomfortable at night as the heat was a bit much. Make sure you pack enough towels for your stay as the closest laundry is in Dargaville. The kids had fun exploring the area and heading to the lake everyday.

Great classic NZ batch stay.

Great location to rugged NZ west coast beaches and close to family friendly Kai Iwi Lakes. We had a great trip playing board games and roaming the beach and lakes. Thanks!
