Independent in Whakatiwai from NZ$113

"Excellent experience "

"The scenic view of the costal shoreline at La Casa were absolutely stunning.Hidden away from the public eye its beauty surrounded with well manicured gardens with lush foliage.Set above sea level this tranquil serene yet peaceful private lodge is highly maintained.Partically surrounded in native bush with echoing harmonic sound of native birds as they frolic near and far.My grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves wishing we had more time to stay longer.We were gracefully welcomed finding comfort with guidance in the hospitality sector and would recommend La Casa Te Puru be your next accommodation adventure."

"Our stay at this property had a mix of positives and disappointments. The house itself was spacious and well laid out, with plenty of room for our immediate family to spread out, but also gather around the table for shared meals. The beds were comfortable, which made for a good night's sleep.However, the outdoor areas let us down. The pool—which was a key reason we booked this place—was not in a usable condition. It had discolored water and floating empty alcohol cans. The spa pool was damaged and looked unclean. This was especially disappointing since the listing stated the pool would be available.The WiFi didn’t work throughout our stay, and despite reaching out for help, we received no communication from the host. We also found rubbish inside several bedroom drawers, which raised concerns about the cleanliness of the property.Overall, while the house had good space and comfy beds, the poor maintenance of amenities, lack of communication, and cleanliness issues affected our stay."

"Alby greated us on arrival and took us to our roo.. explained how the heating worked and pointed out the outside area to us. Great views, would have been an awsome sunset if only the Sun had been shinning"

"Had a fantastic time and magic location. Comfy beds etc. Definitely pleased we bought a 4WD. There were SUPS that looked like they could be used by guests (not locked) - would have bought wetsuits if we had known. Highly recommend if you want to get away from it all!"
