Independent in Ararua from NZ$103

"Had a lovely stay here with my fur baby. The house was immaculately clean and well presented. The covered deck was really great and I spent most of the time I was there sitting out there. The beach is just a very short walk thru the reserve and is absolutely stunning. We had some good swims and walks. The facilities in the house were good. Lounge is very comfy and welcoming. Lots of outdoor furniture to while away the time on. Thanks very much Carrie. "

"A stunning location, great views and perfect hosts - what more do you need?"

"The place is nice and tidy. Nice small little touches from the Host. Not too far from Waipu town and Cove, 10min and 15min drive. The Tub is so nice over the night sky and stars. Would Highly recommend a stay here. "

"This has been the best BookaBach stay we've had in many years. A beautiful cottage in the middle of the country. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen fully stocked-amazing. The art work, done by the hosts told very real stories which resonated with me. If you're wanting a quiet stay, 25 minutes south of Whangarei, make this your No 1 choice."

"Clean room. Lovely hosts. Would visit again."

"Location is outstanding. The views magnificent. The house in perfect condition. Thank you Debbie!!"

"Great location, great house"

"Responsive and friendly host. All the amenities we needed for a long weekend. Great location for the beach (Waipu Cove), or visiting Waipu. Kids loved being close to the river and estuary."

"Great resort near a beautiful beach. We were in town visiting friends. The resort was perfect for us. The one bedroom unit allowed us to have the extra space we desired and great common areas. Very nice pool!"
