Koitiata, Turakina Beach is a small and friendly community only 30 minutes from Wanganui and Marton. The house is located on the beach front with large glass sliding doors that open up on to the huge deck that gives you 180 degree views from Wellington to Mt Taranaki. Close to the campground and across the road from a good children's playground and the main entrance to the beach. Beach has four wheel drive access. Great for bird watching, fishing, four wheel driving along the beach, dirtbikes and quads.
West coast beaches have a lot of character and are constantly changing. Black sand and driftwood abounds but there is still plenty of room to go for walks or do a bit of beachcombing and explore.
Modern facilities including dishwasher and washing machine.
We finally have fibre internet. If you are a returning guest you no longer need to pay for prepay internet.
There are no shops but Turakina Service Station is 10 minutes drive away or head into Wanganui to stock up. The community has a potluck dinner at the hall on the first Saturday of the month. We have a small chest freezer that can be used for longer stays or storing fish bait and fish.
Cell phone coverage is available but can be patchy.

So much boards games, card games and toys for the kids. Straight across the road from the park and short walk to the beach. Beds super comfy, 2 toilets which was great. Love the outdoor space. Picnic table on balcony and wide open doors from lounge to balcony. Over all 10/10 stay for our group of family and friends.
Brilliant holiday home which has everything you need. One of the best we have stayed in with our group. Oh and the king size bed is like sleeping on a cloud. Will definitely look forward to going back and the host was so helpful in every way.
Second time to this house, another fantastic stay, 3 generations under one roof and catered for all our needs. Host had exceptional communication and was very reasonable. Perfect location, right near beach and playground. Will definitely be back again!
