Auckland Anniversary 2023 with a Difference...this will go down as one to remember!
We had a great time despite the flooding, and storms and then being told that we are unable to leave the area due to slips, road closures - we had no choice, but to stay put! We were so thankful that we were staying at this accommodation as it was fully equipped with what we needed. We had to cope with power cuts/no wifi connections but we managed and in the end, enjoyed the home, the surroundings and especially Sunset Beach walk - on a perfect sunny weekend, this would be a venue I would suggest to go too. Thank you Sue for your accommodation, it was great.

About the host

Host profile image
I loved w.e. breaks away - travel in general. I have travelled extensively in my past and love to welcome people from NZ wide to world wide! My place is laid out for having family and friends around the outside table and celebrating life. I love my dogs and this is a great place for your furry family..... and a great big outdoors for long lingering walks around the river or beach. I am one of not many dog friendly places.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Port Waikato after my niece and her husband moved there. I didn't even know it existed until then. So 15years ago I bought my lovely bach so I could enjoy 1.15 min drives for a w.e. break from Auckland. It is a wee gem.... a wonderful arty and creative community. You really feel like you are away from the world as it doesn't have many shops!! (one very cool general store) but it does have a small beach carpark cafe for your COFFEE FIX! and a take away truck at the local camp ground.

What makes this property unique

dog friendly bach/off leash beach /great sand dunes for kids to romp down /surfers and boogie boarders

Nikau Cave about 35 min drive.... very cool - google it if you are into caves.
