Good location and amazing view

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was good spacious place for us, very good views and convenient location. The only issue might be that one toilet and bathroom if you are staying with max pax capacity which is 11 or 12 I believe. There also could have been an internal access to the ground bedrooms from the first floor. Overall we all had fun in the bach with games and amazing beach view. Thanks for the hospitality

Great Family Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here as a family of 4 with 2 very young children. It was the perfect base for us. We had everything we needed for our week long stay and could easily pop to the beach or the shops whenever we felt like it. There is an amazing yard for the kids to run around too. And the hot outdoor shower got a lot of use when returning from the beach each day.

Surf trip getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: An interesting kiwi Bach. We were 2 mums travelling with our kids for a surf trip. Not much privacy with the bathroom, make sure you know your housemates well. Also downstairs was a bit musty, kids couldn’t sleep in there for smell. Otherwise upstairs was lovely and a great location.
