Perfect Location

Perfect location, shops are nearby but not too close to feel busy, beach is about a minute walk, and the layout of the house is perfect for multiple families/big groups. Plenty to do nearby with Waipu, Mangawhai and Whangarei a short drive away. Glynis was a fantastic host, incredibly accommodating and clear communication.

What an amazing home, we will be back. This is a 5 star home, lots of bedrooms and beautiful open plan upstairs. Thankyou for having us to stay. The kids love roller skating and scootering on the concrete paths, easy short access to the beach, great fishing and swimming :)

Simply amazing

We were 2 families (5 adults and 4 kids). Glynis’s home was perfectly setup for all our needs. Kitchen was well facilitated and kids had plenty of options for indoor games as well as outdoor. Having the life jackets and body boards were a bonus for the young ones and we made good use of it given we were so close to the water ( 3 minute walk tops). Warm Outdoor showers were perfect after the beach. Thanks for the use of your beautiful home Glynis and your thoughtful gift. Kind regards Farhaad

BEST BACH STAY

We have been to many baches in the past, but I have to admit this was a unique one. As I entered the property I immediatley text the owner to just say how beautiful their property was. To be frank if it would be mine, I doubt if I would let it out. Everyperson who came on that day had only praises for the property. We enjoyed the property thoroughly, beach, cycling, it was just great. We left an item there and the owner kindly offered it to be brought up to auckland, what more can a guest expect. Many Thanks.

Boys Trip

We were a group on a golf and surfing trip and this accommodation was perfect. Well located for beaches and the golf course, we were able to do everything we wanted. The bbq and kitchen was great for preparing food for all of us.

Home away from home.

Had everything we needed and more. Location was close to the beach, beds were comfy and had a good range to accommodate my extended family. Kitchen had everything we needed to make cooking a breeze. Loved the outdoor shower so didn't have sand going all through the house. Glynis was lovely, very prompt at replying to a couple of my questions. Look forward to coming back.
