We had a great stay. Absolutely perfect for large groups and families. Excellent location and great leisure amenities with pool and downstairs areas. As previous guests have noted, the interior is quite tired and in need of a cosmetic refresh. This would make it 5 stars without question.

We had such a brilliant time during our stay. The house is located close to many amenities. Having our own private walkway to the beach with the use of our own kayaks and paddleboard was awesome. The pool was surrounded by bush which created privacy and also sheltered us from any wind as well. The kids loved having the pool table as well.

Holiday Stay

Amazing house, perfect for a family getaway. We had so much fun with the swimming pool, and using the pool tables and dart board. Easy to get to the beach (very interesting watching all the sand crabs) and food options all in walking distance. The house was clean and the host was very attentive. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely stay again.

Excellent space. All we needed was there. Communication clear from the start. Loved the pool, the crabs, the eeels, the little bridge to the lagoon. The bar, the beds, the furniture and the little cleaner lady was quiet, unobtrusive and very efficient.

Family getaway

We had a great time at this property. The swimming pool, pool table and darts was a real hit. Love the bridge over the creek as it was nice to keep an eye out on all the eels and crayfish. Quick walk to the beach with nice snorkelling and easy access to the small Islands. Layout of the house was perfect for 2 families with separation top and bottom.

A Nice Large Family Home

The location cannot be faulted. The facilities and amenities are comprehensive. The property is very comfortable. It is however showing signs of wear and tear and some renovation and re-decorating will take this from very good to outstanding.

Excellent outdoor entertainment area

Tangaroa's Cove had fantastic private outdoor living areas for our group of 9 (7 adults, 2 children) - great pool, bar, outdoor TV, pool table, dart board. Lots of shady spots to keep cool. Awesome bakery just a few steps down the road. Sisi and the team were lovely, thanks for everything!
