We absolutely loved our stay at White Sands. Lou and Tony are incredible hosts and truly made our time there special, just as other reviews say, you really feel like part of the family. The apartment was spotless, super comfortable, and having our dog with us made the experience even more amazing. Thank you so much, Lou and Tony, for such a wonderful stay. We can’t wait to come back!

Very relaxed environment not only the scenery but also our host and Other guest that were staying onsite.Our stay had that nostalgic feeling only with my wife and kids and not my Dad and siblings.Whaea Lou and Matua Tony are the real salt of the Earth people they were warm and inviting aswell as kind and accommodating to all us guest while catering for the locals that were stopping in as they used the boat landing site right next to the beach that was a hop,skip and a jump from the lodge.I would live there if I could this place in Karikari is awesome and yes I will go back again, thank you Whaea Lou and Matua Tony the trip was to entice my wife to see Far Far North and now she wants to come back with our larger tribe.
You guys Rock and the kaimoana and local knowledge was very helpful until we meet again.
Only the bugs but that's just summer weather for you.

The location is fantastic! If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle, then this is perfect. Lou and Tony are great hosts and want to ensure you are having a great stay. You feel like you've made new friends once you meet them. You've got a vast beach 50 metres from your location to watch the sunset from. Great place to chill!

Great location right next to the beach and good for exploring the rest of the area. Very comfy bed, clean and comfortable studio. There's a nice garden area with BBQ, lovely hosts
It's an 'older' property so some things are a bit basic but nothing to complain about.

amazing hosts, feel so welcomed. Facilities are available for us to use, such as a barbecue grill, and the host helps prepare the gas. Unforgettable experience, looking forward to our next stay!

The location was mint. I, as the driver was very exhausted as we had early start every day and some quite late finishes. The car park and the entrance was so handy that the facility was so easy to get to. Loved every day there. Would definitely book there again.
The rain, no fault of the motel.

I loved the Lockwood split level house, the balcony with the beautiful view and the flat white prepared by Tony or Lou. Such lovely hosts.
The Wifi wasn’t always working and generally there was bad phone reception. I should have just enjoyed the digital detox 😉

Everything was perfect …. Clean tidy and in a Perfect location. The host… Tony and Lou were the best hosts ever!!! They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed and more. Tony was always around helping us launch and retrieve Skis and that was so appreciated. His smoked fish wings were the best I’ve tasted!! Big thumbs up and we will most definitely stay again :)
Nothing it was everything we needed.

Nice location and in off season very quiet, handy location to get around to do sight seeing around KariKari Peninsula.
One bedroom has no power socket. Need to close all windows in evening to avoid mossi attack during night.

Needs more adequate heating in colder months. The great hosts provided us with another heater when we asked.
