Kaiwaka lodges

Enjoyed our stay. Comfortable and had everything we needed.

Kanuka cottage is the perfect place for a small family holiday with plenty to keep kids and adults entertained. Friendly hosts and great location close to estuary, beach and shops.

You instantly relax when you arrive here. The view, the harbour, the quiet and the serenity are perfect for a getaway. Helene was responsive with all our requests, including being able to bring our two small dogs on holiday with us. This holiday home has everything you need, seems larger than what the photos display and was spotlessly clean. We had a family celebration to attend in Pahi on Saturday evening, so explored the wider area from Friday when we arrived. You can walk down the hill onto the local beach before walking at low tide around the point to Pahi itself. It’s like as if time stands still here. We are originally from Tinopai, so drove down for a visit, plus took our friends to the Paparoa Market on Saturday morning, plus the Kauri Museum in Matakohe. Thanks so much for a wonderful mini-break in a very well appointed property. We definitely will be back.
