Beautiful retreat

The bach was spacious, well set out and catered to all ages. We loved the view and the access to the beautiful beach. The whole family enjoyed the use of the kayaks and paddle board and the teenagers revelled in the downstairs apartment!

Everything you could possibly need

We recently enjoyed a week long holiday here, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Everything you’ll need to cook, relax and explore is here. The kids loved the toys, kayaks and bunk beds. Having the beach right at the doorstep made for many hours of exploring. Would definitely stay here again.

Birthday weekend away

Our daughter’s birthday weekend away with close family friends. Perfect location and amazing house! Kids just played all day, so much entertainment for kids in safe environment. We had grand parents with us and their room being ensuite made them very comfortable stay. All rooms were so wonderful. We loved it so much and would love to come back soon. Thank you so much for sharing us the pieces of paradise;)

The perfect getaway

Absolutely wonderful batch with plenty of room! We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway to this wonderful home, the location is perfect with wonderful sunrises and almost directly backing onto the Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park. Whilst we didn't have kids with our group, the house is perfectly set up for keeping little ones busy and has been lovingly setup. Check-in was super easy and well-managed by Nelson Holiday Homes (Sian). We would happily stay at this location again and will certainly be recommending it to friends.

Perfect for a family gathering

We had a fabulous stay at the Beachfront Playground this week. We stayed with 2 families, 4 adults and 5 children and could easily have fit the grandparents in aswell. It’s very spacious with lots of seating, a huge kitchen, big bbq and deck with plenty of seating around a large table to soak in the stunning view and watch the kids all playing below. The house had everything you would need, well stocked kitchen, laundry, kids games and toys, a music speaker, and garage full of kayaks and life vests. It was very clean and has air conditioning for hot nights. We liked that there was plenty of toilet paper, baking paper and glad wrap, dish powder, rubbish bags etc so you don’t have to go out and buy absolutely everything when you are not staying that long. We went fishing a few times, explored the rock pools and looked for mussels and had lots of fun kayaking at low and high tide. The area truly is a playground for all the kids. The huge lawn was great for cricket and soccer and playing spotlight. It’s just a quick drive over to Kaiteriteri beach which is just stunning and the estuary is so perfect for the kids to play and swim in. We would definitely come back. You have created an amazing holiday home!

Great stay at magical beach

We had a wonderful holiday at Magical Beach. The house was great for a big extended family to enjoy togeather. Plenty of spaces for younger people to have room to do their own thing while adults got togeather. House was very well set up, with a wonderful open plan kitchen/ lounge and deck for enjoying the beautiful beach views. Out door space and free access to the beach was excellent for the kids.

Another lovely stay...

Love this property; great location and very well appointed to cater for large groups. The downstairs bedroom / kitchen etc creates a perfect degree of separation if you're visiting with friends and need your own area. Communication with the property manager is a breeze :o)

WISH we could have stayed longer!!!

We were so thoroughly impressed with everything about this house and location! It's soo well set up for kids and adults alike. We were so thankful for the opportunity to make use of the kayaks and life jackets etc that are provided. We bought all our mountain bikes and made thorough use of the tracks on the hill (right across the road behind the house!). The separation of the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms/living areas meant that there was opportunity for quiet rests in between all the busyness and fun! The communication from the property manager was fantastic also. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you so much!

Amazing family getaway

This property is perfectly set up for families of all ages. Our three children are 9 months, 3 years and 5 years. Everything was extremely safe for our crawling baby. The MASSIVE array of toys and books would entertain babies through to teenagers, and the kayaks and paddle board were just fantastic and super easy to get down to the water. The kitchen has everything you need (coffee machine!) and the showers are great. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely big house, next to the sea- with views to die for- amazing location- handy for Kaiteriteri, Mapua and the wonderful MTB park. 2 ensuite rooms, and a family bathroom- wish i was younger to go on the slides and trampoline! Very well euipped. Had dinner at the eco lodge which was also lovely- for winter we had clear blue skies and 15’ degree temps- a fantastic getaway with friends x
