Idyllic hideaway
Mike and Mark's property is outstanding! Well appointed, plenty of room, and great to have a fully fenced place for the dogs to run around. The outlook couldn't be better, and it was fabulous being able to sit in the spa and look up at the stars. It's a great hopping off point to explore Northland, and while it's nice and secluded, it's also just a short drive from local shops when you need the essentials. Absolutely recommended and hope to be back again!

Great house, location and hosts!
We stayed for a short spring break during the school holidays with 11 and 13 year old girls, and Milly the dog. Mike and Mark were very welcoming hosts and provided some helpful information ahead of our visit to help plan our trip. The house was modern and clean, but the location was the real icing on the cake. Right on the water and the girls and dog thoroughly enjoyed spending everyday in or on the water - even when it was raining! It was a quiet and tranquil spot to relax for a few days away from the chaos of everyday life, although there was good wifi and mobile signals to stay connected if you need to.

Very lovely property , overall very happy with stay. Inevitably when the charges are at a premium that highlights any shortcomings. Main house and bedrooms outstanding , one bathroom not so great for a volume of guests. Very impressive kitchen etc. Would recommend and love to come back. Thankyou Bill

About the host

Hosted by Mike Briden

Host profile image
We are a same-sex couple since 1995. We used to live in Wellington, but moved to Pataua and lived here permanently. Just recently we have decided to experience country life as well as city life. So we are bouncing between the properties.
We rent out whatever property we are not living in.

Why they chose this property

You will love staying here on the waterfront at Pataua South. It is so quiet and peaceful with the sound of the waves and birdlife. We find we are outside most of the time, with the property having over 100sqm of decking and extensive lawn.

Dogs really enjoy being here, too, as they are 10 metres from the water in the estuary and 400 metres to Frogtown beach, an off-leash beach except for January.

Because of flexible accommodation options, please enquire.

What makes this property unique

So close to the water.
Fully fenced with dog run and accepts multiple pets.
Plenty of space regardless of how many people are here.
