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!

Perfect spot

The house was just what we needed for a short get away in winter - was warm and had a beautiful view. Would love to come back in summer one day

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.

55 km nördlich von Wellington -tolleLage

Das Haus hat eine ausgezeichnete Lage zum Strand und für die Erkundung der Gegend um Wellington. Es ist ganz neu und qualitativ hochwertig eingerichtet. Die Strandlage ist ebenfalls einmalig gut. Wir können die Unterkunft nur sehr empfehlen. Sie ist noch beeser als Sie anhand der Bilder sehen können.
