House was spacious, with room for everyone. Great proximity to beach, parks and forest as well as great sized yard for outdoor play. Excellent indoor games and entertainment for the one day of heavy rain. Really enjoyed our stay.
Property is spacious and good beds which was ideal for us as the weather for our week there wasn’t great. Was good having a tv in the garage and kids’ room so the adults could have the living room to themselves. Decent outside space too.
Located close to Waitarere Beach and forest. Spacious property for 5 guests. Good internet signal. Washing machine available. Kitchen well equipped. If ever in New Zealand again would not hesitate to book this bach again.
Second time staying, and couldnt believe how warm the house was in winter! Such a sun trap, and were able to enjoy chilly evenings rugged up on the deck watching incredible sunsets :)

Hi Natasha
Thank you for your wonderful review. So pleased you enjoyed your second stay and got to witness the sunsets from the deck
Great accommodation that had everything for the family. The games room in the garage was a hit and the location was top notch.
Would certainly stay here again.
Great little spot to get a way from the hustle and bustle of life. Able to enjoy time in the water, engage in the multitude of activities provided and unwind.
Great location near the beach. In summer the house gets very hot inside especially upstairs. Good place to stay.

Just perfect for a family holiday. Great location with the beach on a few minutes walk. Bach felt like a home away from home Would defiantly recommend.
A lovely home with kind and helpful owners. We enjoyed our stay: beach walks and swims, forest walks, colourful sunsets and bright stars, and tasty handmade pizza from the 4 Square shop on Saturday night. Very relaxing!

Hi Grant
Thank you for your wonderful review.
The cleaner passed on your letter to us and we very much value your feedback. I'll buy a couple of oven mitts (I personally don't use them, so good to know other people do and to have a couple on hand) and the balcony door will be hopefully fixed this weekend.
We are very sorry about these inconveniences.
Kind regards
Anita
We absolutely loved our stay at After Dune Delight. As a family travelling from the uk it had everything we needed for our Christmas stay (even a tree & gifts). It was lovely to be able to bbq and see the sea from the decking. Anita was a wonderful host. Thank you so much
