Great place, clean, warm and bigger than it looks in the photos. We had arrived much later than expected but was still warmly welcomed by the host shortly after our arrival. Convenient place to stay as we travelled from the far north to attend a funeral the next day at Rākaunui Marae.
We arrived on time and although they were still ckeaning our room it was completely fine. They were very apologetic but it gave us a chance to get in some sight seeing. It is such a beautiful home and so peaceful. We totally enjoyed our time there and will definitely look at staying again should we return for a second trip to Kawhia. Thank you to you and your beautiful wife for allowing us to stay.
Clean, friendly, lots of little touches that made our stay easier. They let us borrow the spade and towels for the hot water beach and can after we checked out.
Our B&B was easy to find, lovely gardens and interior, very well set out. Ray met us and was very kind & generous. We had a lovely peaceful night, thankyou Helen & Ray!

Nice and clean handy location by the water and town. Hope back again
Lovely stay. Very warm little unit with everything we needed. Sunny bedrooms, towels for the stunning beach and even some thoughtful extras provided in the kitchen. Very friendly owners and walking distance to town, even with little kids. We had a great weekend here.

Thanks for that hope the rest off your tripe went well
Only stayed one night. Unit is clean and tidy and host was very pleasant and helpful. Lovely veg garden as well. Will surely be back again sometime.Thank-you Ray.Lance and Jannet
Definitely a great place to stay, very well equipped, very clean and comfortable the hosts were lovely and so helpful. I’m so glad we booked here instead of the motel in town.
The accommodation was really good and exactly as described. Signpostage from the road was easy to find and the hosts were very welcoming. Thank you for a great stay, we would definitely stay here again.
This facility is amazing, located in a place with a short walk to the town’s amenities, friendly, welcoming hosts. I will definitely recommend this property.
