Fabulous venue

The place was fabulous. Modern, yet homely and felt like a lot of car was taken to make guests feel at home. Great amenities and modern fixtures. Loved that we could each have our own bathroom. We loved staying here, the host was available and friendly.

The Ocean View Retreat was exactly that. Perfectly located near beach, restaurants and nature hikes. Wonderfully appointed and stocked. Comfortable beds. Powerful showers. Multiple gathering spots in the home. Great deck with ocean views for morning coffee and evening appetizers. Sarah's communication was prompt, helpful and welcoming. Very pleased.

Host profile image
We are local to the Hibiscus Coast and enjoy helping visitors to our area secure somewhere nice to stay. We believe you will really like our townhouse - its in a great location, it's near new, always super clean and our guests always rave about their stay.

Why they chose this property

Orewa Beach, located approximately 40 kilometres north of central Auckland, is a 3-kilometre stretch of golden sand along the Hibiscus Coast. Its gentle waves make it ideal for swimming, surfing, and leisurely walks. The nearby town centre offers various amenities for visitors including an array of fabulous cafes, restaurants and shopping.

What makes this property unique

The 3 bedrooms each with their own en-suite is a big plus for many of our guests. The location is also popular as it's only a 3 minute walk to the beautiful Orewa Beach. The views of the ocean from the master bedroom are a nice touch too.
