What a special place!
We had an amazing Easter break at Sandy Bay, the house is ideal for a group with 2 entirely separate areas, and all amenities included. We surfed and swam every day. The location is 10/10 being directly opposite the beach - you can hear the waves crashing at night and the view is magnificent. It is quiet, private and roomy. We would love to return soon. Nat is a very responsive and organised host - thanks Nat.

Great escape!
Wonderful beachfront property! Loved everything. Two bedrooms upstairs and one bedroom and a bunkhouse downstairs. Excellent kitchen equipment and loved the wooden gate for the top of the stairs. The heaters in the downstairs rooms were nice too for chilly nights.

Great for a babymoon!
My husband and I booked this property for our babymoon so it was just the two of us. We loved the size of the property and can see how it would be great for a larger group or family. We particularly loved the quiet location. We could travel not too far for lovely walks and did a day trip to Paihia but coming home was always a breath of fresh air. Our property manager was helpful and diligent.

Awesome spot to enjoy Northland beaches
We loved the property. Overlooking Sandy Beach was a beautiful way to start and end the day. Matapouri Bay is close by as is Tutukaka for a great meal at local restaurants. Couldn't recommend this more.

Beach holiday
This bach is fantastic for families, with a fully equipped kitchen and barbecue it is easy to cook for everybody. Watching the kids surfing straight from our balcony with a coffee in hand… There is a heater in the lounge and downstairs bedroom to keep you cozy in the chilly mornings. The bed in the master bedroom is king size and has a very comfy mattress. There are great bike rides and walks to do in the area. Thank you for the perfect stay :-) We love to come back in the future

Great property, perfect location just across the street from the beach. Accommodated two families with teenagers really well. Nothing better than sitting on the balcony and watching the ocean with a coffee or a wine. Highly recommend.
