About this house rental

The second bedroom has a bunk bed, consisting of a queen-sized bed on the bottom and a single on the top, great for the kids or another couple.
The deck is expansive and has an outdoor table and BBQ perfect for summer and autumn evening dinners.
On cooler nights, enjoy snuggling in on the couch and turning on the heat pump, switching on the smart tv for your viewing pleasure.

Lovely home with gorgeous views. Clean, tidy and well equipped.Dave was a lovely host. Accommodated me when I messed up my booking and couldn't have made it easier.

10.0 / 10.0

The cottage was perfect for our overnight needs. The kitchen was modern, clean and well-stocked. The bedrooms were comfortable and we loved eating a home-cooked meal on the deck. The night bugs were out when the sun went down so we didn’t spend time on the porch after dinner. The water views were lovely - we just wish we had more time to swim! The owner was in contact quickly with lots of useful information. The property is in a neighborhood that is fairly remote. We stopped in Kawhia for dinner supplies. I would recommend this cottage for a peaceful stay with beautiful views.

10.0 / 10.0

Loved the area, the water and the view. Water is only a walk away and you can swim all day long if you wanted to. House was easy to find, check in was also easy. The bach was lovely had everything you need. definitely go back

8.0 / 10.0

There are many positives about this property, such as new appliances & fixtures, clean & comfortable bed, nice view of the inlet & dunes. But, there was a disagreeable odor about the place that emanated from the utility room/foyer. Perhaps a sour mop? Trash? Once I closed off that section of the house and aired the place out, it was better. And...then there were the bugs. Many different kinds of insects and spiders. The cockroach in the sugar bowl was the kicker. So, keep working on it, you are almost there!

10.0 / 10.0

Just as advertised. As simple as that. We arrived on a nice sunny day and even though the weather became overcast then wet at times, we did not let that affect us as we know the NZ forests tend to become alive in such conditions. Thanks for letting us be part of this.
