Great size house for our big group, comfy. Met hosts who were very nice and helped when internet was briefly out.Bunk room was a bit “dusty “ for asthma prone kids unfortunately.. no ventilation.

Great house and living areas, really enjoyed, but tired beds prevented good sleep for any of us over whole 4 nights and stove top display was almost unusable. Love to come again if those issues addressed.

We had such an amazing stay. The house suited our two families with four adults and four kids with plenty of space. Heaps of toys to keep the kids occupied for the one rainy day we had and any time we weren't at the beach. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you Sue and David you were both so lovely and welcoming, we had such a lovely stay. Was a very relaxing weekend getaway! We had a big group and there was so much space for us all and a lovely outdoor area. Will defiantly visit again!

This property is a must-stay if you want a quiet place near to a beach and reserve for a small group to relax. The locals who have little eateries (a café by the beach and a stationary food truck near the house) are friendly and welcoming with some good tasty options for snacks.
The owners were happy to accommodate requests, not that there was much we needed that wasn't already provided. 5/5 for the stay - fully furnished with all your equipment needs!
Only thought is may need a fan or two to dissipate the heat, but then it was 30+ outside!

Loved our short time in Port Waikato. House was perfect, plenty of space and nice walk to the beach. The Whitebait fritters were an absolute treat. Thanks!

House: awesome meet and greet by the caretakers, plenty of space, awesome shower facilities - loved the outdoor shower, great selection of board games and chess game outside, nice easy walk to the beach, nice quiet street. Fantastic supply of towels/cleaning products.
Recommendations: a bigger stock pot for cooking for big numbers | better sharp knives for meal preps. | A slightly bigger freezer for food storage for big groups especially when the shops are 30 mins far away. |A broom and dust pan for daily use.
Overall we had a wonderful stay and certainly highly recommend it.

this is a great property for extended families with number of adults. The room confirmations are great with a number of double beds. There was also facilities for those with young children.
Lots of extras - games, toys. kitchen gadgets. well thought out location.
Whitebait fitter mixture was a nice bonus, which tasted good.

Great for the quintessential kiwi beach holiday - you go to sleep to the sounds of distant waves and wake to birds. It is so peaceful and quiet! A brilliant city escape. We spent our days in Puke for a tournament, and had no problems with the stunningly beautiful drive along the mighty Waikato. House is modern and great for extended family. Comms are excellent. Sue and David are so thoughtful - it's the little things that made this place such a retreat! Water bottles in the fridge on arrival, firm and soft pillows, the whitebait fritter recipe on the wall (plus all the ingredients!!). We loved our stay, wished it had been longer and would come back in a heartbeat.

A fantastic place to stay, incredibly well-suited for families. Plenty of room and amenities, with space for young and old, whether hanging out together, or chilling by oneself. Credit must be given to the owners for their efforts in making this house a special place to stay. They have gone above and beyond, with so many wonderful touches, that there is no question we will be back to stay again. Thank you so much again.

We stayed here for the V8's and the place was everything we were expecting and then some. There was 4 middle aged couples and the layout was perfect for us, but would work equally as well for families. Even though it was about 25 mins out of Pukekohe it wasn't too much of an issue, even with the drive out at night. Highly recommend this place and would seriously consider staying again, but in summer to make the most of the outdoors and the beach.

Harry and Sue were awesome to communicate with. Incredible home. My babies loved it which is hard to find. Property was great for kids and teens with big sized lawn chess, park and board games. Kids rooms had plenty dvds to watch. Complimentary white bait was a hit for the men and so was the fishing spots close by. Beautiful home with quiet spaces for all. BBQ area amazing for entertainment while watching kids play. Love love love and we will definitely be back soon xx thank you for the late check out. We totally appreciated the extra relax for a last minute late check out request after a wedding. Thank you both so much. Reccomend to families with kids and or a get away with friends.

We had a wonderful family Christmas in this beautiful beach property. We were a party of 12 plus two under five year olds & It was spacious & comfortable with everything we needed. The neighbourhood was quiet & peaceful & the children had a great day at the surf beach which was patrolled by life guards. We highly recommend this holiday home.

Amazing space for our family!
We booked this place for our family to go away for a week. There were 10 of us in total, with a baby and a 9 year old. The house was perfect! First of all, the upstairs and downstairs gave us space to chill, and Harry and Sue even baby proofed the house with gates to allow our young son to explore without worry. The outdoor area was perfect for summer evening bbq and drinks. The beach was just a short drive down the road, and the wharf/bay made for a nice relaxing swim. Overall, it was a great experience and would most definitely return if we were to come back to the region.
