We had an amazing stay! The house feels welcoming and Waimārama is great beach town. Would definitely stay again.
8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2024
Our family (3 adults, 1 teen) spent a lovely chill Christmas week at this quirky and beautiful property which looks as though it has been built and decorated through a labour of love over many years. Colourful and delightful everywhere inside. Plenty of comfy spots to stretch out with a book or board game in the house, deck, lawn or patio. Hammock and loungers under a tree were a particular highlight in blistering HB heat. Beach is about 1km walk away, via ice creams at the dairy. Hosts were super helpful and unobtrusive and very welcoming of our small dog. Visitors should be aware there are a couple of bnbs on the wider property as well as livestock (sheep, goats, ducks, geese, roosters) so there are a few comings and goings outside the fence but it’s all part of the charm. Kitchen doesn’t have a lot of space but we managed a week of family meals including Christmas dinner without much hassle. Would recommend to anyone looking for a wee break in a unique location.
