This property, inside and out, is beautiful. The small equipped kitchen was stocked with so many breakfast items to choose from! The hosts are lovely and very helpful! You will love the private courtyard too!

Thanks for your kind words, we really do appreciate your positive comments and it was a real pleaseure to have you stay with us.
We look forward to having you back with us at any future time.
Great location, very close to the beach for a nice stroll to the town centre for a meal or breakfast. The location of Orewa is far enough from Auckland for peace and quiet, yet within easy commute with the motorway being only 2km away. The accommodation was great and provide complete privacy. The rooms were well furnished, very clean. The hosts were very attentive warm and very friendly. A return to Orewa and to Beachside is certainly on the cards!
Very nice accommodation with private courtyard virtually on the beach (50m). David and Linley were very welcoming, friendly and most obliging. Almost all needs catered for (for some reason wifi was weak and intermittent on Apple but ok on Android) - apartment got a bit cold by the morning which was just about ok being Easter but would have been an issue in colder weather. Early am sunrises looking east over the beach horizon were amazing.
This stay was an amazing way to begin our dream vacation in New Zealand! The apartment was in the ground level of the owner's home. The bedroom opened up to a beautiful private garden, where we enjoyed meals, a glass of wine and conversation. Step outside of the enclosed garden and you see the majesty of the Orewa Beach for a swim or beach walk. The hosts David and Linley provided wonderful provions for our breakfasts and even shared some homemade baked goods. They were very helpful in pointing out local sites to visit including Puhoi, Alice Eaves Scrnic Reserve, and Shakespear Regional Park Reserve. We also drove up the coast to Omaha Beach and Tawharunui Regional Park. Orwewa Beachside was a slice of heaven!
Lovely place to stay. Quiet. So close to the beach you can hear the waves lapping gently at the sand. The hosts thought of everything you might need, and we're very friendly and helpful. We would love to stay again.
We were greeted upon arrival by our host and given a short tour of the apartment and courtyard gardens. The rooms were beautiful with soft island colors and overstuffed pillows that beckoned us to relax. The bath made us feel pampered with lovely shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and oversized robes. The heated towel rod and antifog mirror were a much appreciated touch. The kitchen had everthing needed to prepare a meal or just a snack to take out on the patio as we listened to ocean waves and lounged with the cool breeze. Truly an Oasis for the weary travelers. We will absolutely return to this gem again. Thank you David and Lynnleigh for such a wonderful experience.
A wonderful couple have provided a fantastic respite for travelers. Jet lagged but so refreshed.

Thanks for your kind comments Jackie, it was a real pleasure for us having you with us and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation here in New Zealand.
Fabulous. Plenty of room for the three of us traveling together (four would have been a bit tight). Breakfast items (cereal, toast, eggs) and fresh fruit offered an outstanding choice. Owner checked in with us each morning to ensure we had everything we needed or to answer any questions. We felt pampered and important!

Thanks for your kind comments E, you were important and that made it easy for us to make your stay enjoyable. We really enjoyed having you 3 with us!
All the Best for Xmas and New Year D & L.
David and Linley are very friendly and kind. We cooked breakfast by ourselves in
the kitchen in the room. They kindly prepared bread, milk, eggs, yorgult, fruits, bamana cake and so on. Location is also good. I would like to stay there again.
