A beautiful location and an awesome place to stay.
The house was clean, lots of room and we'll equipped. The pathway to beach needs work tho. Too steep for kids, older folk and pregnant women. Despite that, we had a fantastic time. Oh and outside bar furniture needs updating or stored away from the elements for safety. Kayak equipment not all there which was a bit disappointing. However, our famy all loved Airi Kainga and look forward to returning! Nga mihi nui.
Really enjoyed our stay,awsome views,nice tidy home and property
Everything was clean and tidy and the location was perfect and erin was very helpful,just one thing was i was happy it had an option of taking our dog when i booked it but that option was removed later on after i had confirmed my booking but i would definitely like to come back.also for the tv we couldnt get it to work with the instructions “this was mainly for our babies to watch movies at night to go to sleep lol” because tv couldnt read our hard-drive either.
But really enjoyed our stay awsome location 👍
