W91: Stylish, modern, beach views, 100m to the beach
Whangaumu 91 is a well equipped, modern, multi-story house with multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces. The house is in a private setting in native bush, has stunning beach and sunset views, and is only a 3 minute walk to the beach. Wake up to the sounds of waves lapping on the beach below, and tuis in the trees outside.
The upper floor has the master bedroom (with king bed and ensuite bathroom), lounge, laundry and separate toilet, well equipped kitchen, and dining area. There is a balcony for sunbathing and views of the beach (dolphins and even orca can occasionally be seen in the bay below). There is also a large, private, paved terrace area with Weber gas BBQ, for outdoor dining and relaxing.
The middle floor has two more bedrooms (one bedroom has 1x queen bed, the other bedroom has 1x single bed (child access only) and 1x double bed in a bunk format (single on top, double is below), bathroom, and another lounge - so the kids can relax away from the parents. There is also a kitchenette with tea & coffee making supplies and a desk which can be used as a workspace for those having to catch up on emails while on holiday! The garage on the lower level has internal access to the house, and is where the kayaks, body boards and beach toys are found.
There are two televisions, one with Apple TV for guests to sign in to Netflix etc. The kids can watch DVDs on the other TV.
Unlimited, high speed Starlink internet is provided free.
Two single-person kayaks are provided, along with 2 adult lifejackets and 2 children’s lifejackets. We also provide two bodyboards, and even “bucket and spade” toys for the little ones to play in the sand.
There is a garage for one car, plus off-street parking. The driveway is steep but easily managed. There is room enough to park a small trailer boat/jet ski if you are comfortable reversing a trailer on a hill. Boats and jet skis can be launched from Whangaumu Bay directly below the house.
We provide initial bed linen and towels, and don't apply a standard cleaning charge: so no hidden costs!
- The house sleeps a maximum of seven people (6 adults maximum) - There are steps inside and out, so it unfortunately may not be suitable for anyone with limited mobility, and young children may need to be supervised. - Well-behaved dogs may be acceptable but NOT on the furniture - please contact the hosts to agree PRIOR to booking. The house has a fenced terrace area where dogs can be safely left outside if necessary. - NO party/event groups, thank you.

We had beautiful sunsets over the bay, and a lush forest out the back! The kitchen had all we needed for cooking meals. It was a truly beautiful house for a landing place when the weather was good for hiking and a comfortable & cozy house during a day of rain! Thank you!!

Thank you Stacey and it was a pleasure having you all Jack as guests! We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay and the view of the forest/bush area when it's raining is a favourite of ours too. Hope to see you both again ☺️
Wonderful views from this exceptional property with the beach so close. A well appointed home, super comfortable, including the beds. I would highly recommend this place. Excellent communication from the hosts too.

Thanks Fiona and it was our pleasure having you and your family stay at the house. We hope to see you again!
We really loved this property, it's perched up on a hill with unobstructed views of the bay. It has an internal access garage, an immaculate well-appointed kitchen, and is warm and well insulated. We will definitely be coming back!
We loved our 3 day stay in this stunning home, modern, clean and fantastic views.
All you needed for your stay was provided by the owners.
Position was just a short walk to the beach
Great layout for families wanting separation, will definitely recommend this property to family and friends
Thanks so much for such an amazing stay. The house is fantastically neat and tidy with all the amenities that you could want. We will definitely be looking to book another stay at W91!
Thanks so much Shane and Eddie for such a great experience!

Thanks Sally and family! Looking forward to having you back next year.
The house is almost new, well-equiped and stylish, with a magnificent view over the bay. We very much enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
A wonderful place, well thought out with everything you need. Lots of lovely touches such as toys for the kids. We really had a wonderful time. Walking to beach when the sun shone and tide was perfect was just great.
Thank you Shane and Eddie for an awesome stay. Your place is cleaned to a very high standard. We appreciated that you were great hosts with nothing being a problem for you. Great views of the bay and is a short walk to the beach. We will be back!
This property was exactly as advertised...only better. The location was stunning with spectacular views; the beach super close; and the property was top notch. Kitchen was well kitted out and the rain showers were a little bit of unexpected magic. We can't wait to return.
Absolutely fantastic, well-appointed property with exceptional views of one of the North's hidden gems - to say we were impressed is an absolute understatement. We'll be back!!
... and more! Immaculately presented, thoughtful high quality touches, right down to local art and labels on the light switches. Good clarity around all information and guidelines. A magestic view and great proximity to everything you'd expect at a higher price point. Family and pet friendly is a real bonus at a place like this. Great hosts and total privacy, we will be back 😊

Thanks so much Jason, glad you enjoyed it. Hope to have you back soon.
We had a fantastic family break at 91 with superb communication from the hosts in the lead up to, and during our stay. The house is modern, immaculately clean and beautifully designed with plenty of space with communal and separate living areas. The views from the lounge are absolutely stunning and it is both extremely private and quiet. Well appointed kitchen with Nespresso machine & blender are an added bonus. We also loved the outdoor shower. We highly recommend this property and hope to return one day soon. Thanks Shane & Eddie for your hospitality.
We stayed in Shane and Eddies beach house for 3 days and nights in June 2022. All mod cons and then some.
Our little dog Lucie thought it was great and we did too.
Magnificent crescent shaped beach 200m away but too cold for swimming for us oldies at this time of year🤣
A couple of extra blankets would have been welcomed and easily fixed
Thanks again
