Very welcoming hosts, tidy and clean home with a great little back yard, some sea views and a gate connecting to a walk way which just added to its great location and easy walking with little kids to all the main areas - lagoon, local shop, park and surf club. Would definitely stay again and is a fabulous stay for young families wanting to enjoy this slice of paradise
We love Whiritoa and this was a lovely bach to enjoy it from. Great beach access and close to shops, lovely big lawn for the kids to play and all the basic amenities covered. We really enjoyed our stay.
Great location, just a short stroll to the beach, playground, surf club and shop. Loved our weekend away. The kids had a blast. Would definitely stay again

So pleased you enjoyed your stay with us, we look forward to having you back soon!
We were two families staying together and this bach suited us perfectly. We loved the location especially, so close to the beach and cafe. We locked our cars when we arrived and didn’t open them again till we left.
Had an amazing time at Whiritoa and this bach was perfect for our family. Would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again soon. The owner was fantastic with their communication and promptly relied to any questions we had. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks for an amazing stay.
Great spot and easy check in and information. There were a few things we needed that were missing - rubbish bags, light bulbs - and could have been a bit cleaner. Delicious limes!

Great location and comfy bach
The Bach is in an excellent location and has all you need for a relaxing holiday. We really enjoyed our stay.
Only feedback is that there are heaps of spiderwebs inside and out of the house and lots of daddy long legs throughout. But amazing other than that 🙂

Thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure we give it an extra clean through the quieter periods. Thats when the spiders accumulate!

Two day stay
Lovely spacious wooden home, well laid out.
Comfy beds, blankets could do with a dry clean.
Shower could do with an update but work well all the same with heaps of hot water.
Super close to the beach.
We were there during the cyclone and had no power phone Internet and it was so good.
We actually had to talk with each other.
We walked along the beach the next day and made heaps of memories.
We will be back.
The property was well appointed and as described, in a super convenient location near the store and the beach.
Unfortunately we were disappointed at the cleanliness of the house as there were a lot of spider webs and dead insects and it needed a good vacuum. We suspect it hadn’t been used in some time and hadn’t been checked prior to our arrival.

Good news, we have now replaced the shower head and its a big improvement.
The instructions were easy to follow , along with the place . It was so lovely , and peaceful, and the bed was just perfect . Adam was excellent at responding if I needed to know something. Beautiful place . I didn't want to leave , but I intend on returning in the future, thankyou so much.
Lovely stay, perfect location with gorgeous outdoor area. Maybe better for a summer stay as we found it a bit cold in winter. An extra heater and some hot water bottles or electric blankets would be great.
Description was 100% accurate, 1 min walk to the beach. Gorgeous views of the hills behind with plenty to do in the area. Couple of great spots for exploring. Our host was easy to contact when we couldn't locate toilet paper. There was also a lovely mandarin tree that was open to use.
Last Minute time away for the workaholic of the house.
With only a few days to find accomidation to escape home when forced to take some annual leave, i was so happy to find this bach. Bach had everything we needed and Mr 3yo loved "beach house"
Such a great little place away from the hussle and bussle.
We will definitely be back again.
Thanks Adam for making everything so easy.
Lockbox made it easy to access property. A wet weekend, but good to chill out and relax, which is what we wanted. My granddaughter loved the. Mandarin trees, and we made use of the rosemary growing in the garden. Great to hear the thundering waves crashing onto the beach. Would have been even better to have had a view to the beach, but the beautiful pōhutukawa trees are a vista themselves. Thanks for allowing us to use your home. We could be back!
Great to be right near the beach. Nice place. Beautiful area. Appreciated the info provided about local spots to check out. Appreciated the late check out too.
