The little Beach House

We had to vacate our property due to alterations so we stayed for a month. It's a real cozy little two bedroom house with a good functional kitchen and bathroom. Lounge and diner all very suitable for our stay. The area has plenty on offer. Choice of beaches facing all wind directions ready for your choice of activities. Heaps of walks and tracks at varying difficulty. The little house itself is on a farm in the middle of it all. Lisa (the owner) is a truly superb host, very helpful and flexible. Shops are a short drive away. Had a great time thank you Lisa. Merry X-mass Mike and Sandra

Perfect getaway!

Amazing little rural slice of paradise. Great self-contained unit, a fab view of Mt Manaia, eating places nearby, lots of walks and beaches, and playgrounds. Lisa is the kindest host, going over and beyond. Thank you Lisa! Highly recommend! No faults.
