Ngatea oceanfront rentals

A wonderful stay! The home is in a gorgeous setting, with warm wood, stone and super creative tile finishes. Tim is a gracious host, with lovely home cooked bread and delicious breakfast was made available. We loved the fireplace and the secluded peace. Their place has everything you need for a comfortable stay.Thanks to Vivienne and Tim.

I was there in winter ,very warm and happy to recommend very friendly and helpful , lovely people

This property was just what we needed and in a perfect location. The property manager was very friendly and accommodating. Would stay here again.

Absolutely loved this little cabin. Really well renovated and appointed cabin in a wonderful location on a small farm. Nice small deck to sit out on and BBQ or a lovely sitting room inside if you'd prefer. Nice comfy bed and really nice bathroom and shower. Lots of animals to see and the historic farm is also really interesting. Really peaceful if you're looking to relax. Great communication with owner. Highly recommend.

This stay was booked to be close to my son’s wedding venue. We were three adults and we really enjoyed our stay. It was very clean, spacious, and private. It was so peaceful, located away from the main centre. I gave 4 stars for accuracy of listing since there was nomention of a dog on the property in the listing.

We loved our stay sunset cabin. A rustic and beautiful spot to enjoy some down time. A gorgeous outlook in the valley topped with some lovely sunsets and sunrises. Karyn goes the extra mile providing fresh bread, jam, milk and eggs which was much appreciated. So grateful to be able to bring our dog with us. Highly recommend.

Jenny was a lovely host who contacted us by phone before our scheduled stay to share details of the b-n-b. Did we like the A2 milk which they sourced from a nearby farm? Did we have any special dietary requirements for the continental breakfast, and so on. Just generally we had a good chat so that it was a pleasure to meet her in person finally and to be greeted with bowls of fresh fruit from the property, and Jenny's sourdough bread when he say down to breakfast in the morning. We stayed overnight in this nicely outfitted b-n-b to attend a party about 6 km distant at the Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre. We'd recommend this b-n-b and can we also recommend a visit to the shorebird centre. It has hides for viewing a wide range of shorebirds, and in particular does international work to preserve the feeding grounds along the shores of the Yalu River - part Chinese, part North Korean - for the godwits as they journey each year from New Zealand Aotearoa to Alaska to breed. I think Jenny sometimes does voluntary work down at the centre. I met Maarten the day of our departure, - a musician, and we had a good chat around that. Interesting that he works with sound, because perhaps the dominant feeling we took away from this lovely Waitakaruru property was how silent the night was. A quiet boon for suburban Aucklanders . . .

We had a wonderful weekend at the Devcich Homestead. It was peaceful but with plenty to do and the kids loved helping Lorenza tend to the birds and sheep. We will definitely be back.
