An awesome Bach right by the beach

We had a lovely stay in Wainui beach. The home was perfectly situated close to the beach, and within walking distance of a great little coffee shop. The hosts were incredibly helpful and accommodating.

Great place to stay on Wainui Beach

We had a great time staying at Lobbsters, enjoyed the beach and coastal cycleway at our doorstep. There was a great little coffee shop a few minutes walk away, and fantastic eateries a short drive into town. The ground floor apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was nice and easy to cool even on a hot summer day.

Ideal location

Great communication with the owners of the property prior to arrival. Wonderfully quiet location within a stone’s throw of the beach. Tidy and cozy. Suited our needs nicely.

Loved many things about Ginger Lodgings - Perfect Location just next to the Wainui beach makes it worth staying, Hosts made our stay very comfortable by switching on the electric blankets much before we arrived - Thanks to Amelia and Shannon for that, Quality of linen and toiletries was very good as well. Some points of improvement - Carpet, kitchen area and couches need full clean-up for better hygiene which will make it all the more perfect accommodation and also will attract us to go back

Simple, pleasant and friendly

Kate and Anton's place was exactly what we were looking for. The check in process was clear and felt very casual and trusting. The kitchen was well equipped and stocked, ready for cooking with our own food. Despite Kate and Anton living just above, it felt private yet friendly. Recommend for those looking for a spot close to the surf, an indoor space to chill and for those who will do a bit of self-catering.

Comfortable & relaxing stay

We had a really lovely stay. A cosy bach that is only a stone's throw to the beach. We were super comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Anton & Kate were super welcoming on arrival, giving us some local tips.

Mother and Daughter Stay at Lobbster's Lodge

My Mother , aged 92, and myself loved this retro place to stay It was positioned a stones throw away from the Beach. It was comfortable and well maintaned. Hosts, Anton and Kate were most accommodating. Their 3 children were also very polite and friendly. Thank you. We had a wondrerful wee holiday

Very clean Property with everything you need. Lovely, chatty host. So glad we found this by the beach, rather than staying in Gisborne centre.

Just what we needed

Catherine and Anton were friendly and helpful. Close to beaches and room out back for our surfboards. We paid a lot because it was only on e night but would have liked to stay longer. Negatives: not many no aircon, could have done with some milk for morning coffee. Recommended

Clean, comfortable stay for the four of us. They have thought of everything..just like a home away from home. Very close to the beach, nice quiet area..should've booked an extra nite.

Fantastic location.

Fantastic location. Clean and tidy unit. Would suggest updating fridge to fridge/freezer and having wifi these days is a bit of a given. Not an issue for us but probably should be clear that the unit is under the main house and there's a bit of a foot traffic noise. Great spot and we would return.
