Great family getaway

This is a great place for a family getaway, regardless of the weather. We've stayed here several times and the kids love it! Well equipped with books, games and very comfy beds! Highly recommended!

Lovely home, clean and comfortable

We enjoyed our stay in this clean, comfortable and spacious holiday home. River, beach, playgrounds, and bike tracks nearby for the grandkids. Would liked to have stayed longer. Thank you!

Excellent

Having stayed several times in Waitarere in various houses, I can honestly say that this was the best appointed and most comfortable of them all. The furniture and fittings were of a good standard and the location was ideal for both beach and forest. A really enjoyable short but memorable stay.

Fantastic stay!

We loved staying at this property. It was well appointed with everything we needed and extra. We had a great night sleep. The house has three decks to capture the sun is a great location too. We definitely recommend this house. :-)

A special place

The location of the bach is perfect, close to the beach and with the forest on your doorstep. Close to the dairy and the local restaurant too.The bach is amazing, clean, well appointed, having a fire was also great. Kim is a great communicator. We are about to book the next mini break here :)
