As close as it gets
Looks and works exactly like it looks in the pictures. Great location and decor. The super modern kitchen and oven took some getting used to but we got it sussed. Three couples fitted well. Wifi was good. Less cooking equipment than we’re used to but we are foodies - bring anything special. We’re keen to go back.

Fantastic Stay
We loved our stay. It was super stormy and the house was perfect, warm with a toasty fireplace and a great front-row seat to watch the crashing stormy waves. We have already booked to go back for summer.

Family Times & a Wedding
Wow! Such a cool spot right on the water’s edge with tropical planting and beautiful interior. The space was just what we needed in the lead up to my daughter’s wedding, and both interior and exterior were perfect for pre-wedding photos. Thanks Karl and Jack for letting this accommodation. P.S. the chilled beers and wine were appreciated :)

Amazing Sea views
We had a wonderful stay at Karl’s beach house with wine and beer waiting for us along with tea, coffee, spices and condiments in the fridge. The home was very clean and our beds were nice and comfy. Our host was extremely helpful in guiding us to some beautiful tramping spots and went above and beyond in letting us know about grocery store locations and restaurants to take in. I just wish we could have stayed a bit longer but we were at the tail end of our 3 month stay in New Zealand, and it was time to head back to Canada. I would highly recommend this property for anyone wanting to excape to a little piece of paradise! Thank you again Karl!!

Location is Stunning!
We absolutely loved our few days at Whangarei Heads. This home is cosy and the location amazing. We enjoyed meals on the deck, watching the sea and the sunsets. The home was perfect for our family - it offered independence for our 20-something daughter with her own sleep-out, and equally perfect for my 92 year old mother as the house was easily accessible. Wished we could have stayed longer!

Stunning Location
Everything was seamless from the booking process to checking in. So special to be able to sit outside at various sitting areas on the wrap around deck and enjoy the sea coming right up to the start of the property. Plenty of room for everyone to relax and we loved the hot tub outside the main bedroom looking out over the water. A truly magical place to stay, didn't want to leave.
