We were given clear instructions of how to get to the house and the amenities were excellent.Everything was clean and tidy, there was plenty of room for everyone.
Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Handy to everything including and especially the beach! Everything you would need for a family holiday. We had three generations including two sub fives and there was something for everyone. Our host was super-efficient, plenty of everything and really clean. And, what a view! Will definitely stay again!!!
Awesome accommodation, clean, comfy and a great place to hang out and relax. The view was amazing. No fuss when booking and very accommodating, would certainly put it on our list to come back
We were all very happy with the accomodation - The house had everything we needed and enabled a great stay with the family. Having beach access was great, and great location with the short walk to the four square and a few cafe’s and restaurants.
Our family of 6 adults had a wonderful time staying here. The home was very clean and comfortable, and the location could not have been better. Thank you for helping us create meaningful family memories!
Best Accomadation in NZ.... absolutely loved our stay the place was so much more than advertised.... so much aroha felt within this home was such a perfect stay for our whanau. Thanks again so so much. Highly recommend
We loved our 3 week stay. You can hear and see the waves from the house. Beautiful sunsets. A well appointed home with everything we needed. Close to restaurants and shops.
Great house for families, comfortable, well appointed, plenty of space and stroll from the lawn to the beach. Property was clean and tidy, and the books and games were a nice touch and used by the kids. Thank you!
This was a magical spot with everything you need for a holiday.
The beds were so comfortable and lovely linen and towels.
We loved the big front lawn to enjoy the sun and only a few steps away from the beach for a swim.
Really quiet and private.
Great wifi and BBQ to use too.
Thank you so much Erin and we hope to come and stay another time in the future.
Happy new year
Our stay at the Lockwood was fantastic!The home was clean, spacious and well stocked with all the essentials- bath towels (loved the towel animals on the beds!), beach towels, laundry powder, pegs for the line, spices, a grill in good working order, books, beanbags. No matter the sun angle or wind, there was a place on a deck to enjoy the fresh air & view. Bonus: Direct access to the beach and just being a couple of minutes walk to the Raumati shops (and an outstanding Fish & Chip shop)! We will definitely be returning!
This was a really lovely, clean, tidy, well-equipped home, with everything in good working order. As others have noted, it is thoughtfully appointed with lots of things for kids to do & a great book selection.
It easily accommodated our group of eight (2 x parents, 2 x grandparents and 4 x children). The location was perfect! It was easy to find and I’d highly recommend it to anyone with kids!
We’d love to come back!
Ideal 4 bedroom house for our group of 6. Great location for local golf courses and train to Wellington. We appreciated the lovely linen on the beds and the fluffy white towels. The gas heater was efficient and used lots. Comfortable, homely bach feeling which suited us. Would use this again.
Wow what a fabulous bach. Well in fact it is a house in the perfect oceanside location, the changing weather and seas were lovely to watch. Great location to locate ourselves and visit places around the area.
Love all the extras, soaps, books, games, and a few items in the panty in case you forget something. It was beautifully clean, and appreciated to communication re the fixed leak. Would happily return to this wonder.
A magic place. Right on the beach. Great walks, swimming and views. Close to everything you need, cafes, restaurants and superette. Clean tidy and well set up for families. Lovely friendly host. We would highly recommend to all.
Had a perfect stay 😊
