Makara Beach lake rentals

Beautiful property with plenty of games, toys, and books. Gorgeous drive down to the bach (though would be difficult at night). Easy check in process and communication. We saw seals on the rocks right in front of the house! A lovely getaway from busy life. Just note there is no microwave so plan meals accordingly!

We stayed 2 nights. Enough for us as we tour New Zealand, very comfortable warm home.

What an amazing property and location! A beautiful home, filled with everything you need. Warm, cozy and clean. Breathtaking arrival and seals to greet us as we drove by to the house. Even just the "getting there" was a beautiful adventure. Totally recommend this property and hosts 100%. Thanks for an amazing weekend and sharing this piece of seaside paradise. Remember to pack your woolies for your outdoor walks - you will not be disappointed!

Lovely spacious, light-filled studio room with views across the street and to trees beyond. Good size kitchenette and we appreciated the milk and tea bags. We also appreciated the early check-in. The weak point of this place is the bathroom handbasin. It is tiny and there is no vanity bench.Also can I suggest some new coat hangers? You'll see from the listed photos that the outside steps are steep, which is not necessarily a problem but there are two things to look out for. Firstly, the depth of the tread. It is very narrow so you have to walk sideways otherwise you'll tear the leather off the back of your shoes. Secondly, there is no handrail. That said, the room has a great heat pump so it's lovely and warm. The bed is super comfortable with good linen and there are plenty of fluffy towels. It's conveniently located close enough to the airport and the city centre - both an easy Uber ride away. The Hataitai village shops are within easy walking distance.Shelley was good to deal with and she responded quickly to my questions.We would definitely consider staying here again.

Nice , quiet , slept so well .

Our week was great. Wellington means lots of steps.A couple of drawbacks- the large bed right against the wall made it difficult to get in and out of . The kitchen, while bright and modern looking had very little room to store groceries or to use the lovely equipment. Minor negatives…Our hosts were readily available if we had needed anything.

Such a beautiful place to stay and the view is amazing. Would definitely stay here again

This place is just amazing. Its a modern open place with such a lovely view. Parking underneath is also great. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks!
