Welcome to ‘San Marco’

Bellissimo!

Stunning Tuscan Oasis set amongst lush tropical gardens, drop your bags at the door, and enjoy everything San Marco has to offer.

Create amazing family memories with an unforgettable stay at ‘San Marco’ a luxury Tuscan beachside retreat.

Enjoy endless lazy hours at the white sandy beach at the end of the walkway next to San Marco. Or perhaps a kayak or paddleboard on a hot summers day.

Endless fun with an extensive collection of indoor and yard games for hours of family fun. A games room with ping pong, darts and an extensive DVD collection for those rainy days.

San Marco is a 60m stroll to the white sands of Whangamata beach, carefully curated with beautiful rustic décor & furniture, sourced from the likes of Morocco, France & Mexico.

At the end of the day relax in the luxurious beds, feather/down duvets and crisp white sheets, that you would find in any world class hotel.

Whangamata stay

We enjoyed out stay.The house was very spacious and a ggreat location close to the beach. The smaller children loved the garage with all the games and the teens loved the self contained area downstairs. The house was very well equipped with every thing you need for a relaxing beach holiday.

Rented this beautiful house for our family reunion and it was perfect. There were lots of different living spaces inside and out and it had everything we needed. Kitchen was well equipped. Garage was full of games and sports equipment which we had a lot of fun with. Great location so close to the beach. So glad we chose this house - it was stunning.

The perfect vacation

We stayed at this beautiful home with friends over 4 nights and everything was exceptional! The property is stunning and absolute luxury, you feel like you're on holiday the moment you step in, the rooms and layout are spacious and all beautifully set. The garage was a hit with all the games for kids and adults! A short stroll to the beach, and not far to the main town made this a great location with kids and adults to get out and about easily. Every item we needed to cook our own meals, entertain the kids and to relax were all at our fingertips. Thank you so much Sharlene for sharing your heavenly home, we felt sad to leave and are already planning our next stay!

well equipped Villa in an amazing location

This Villa was everything we hoped for!! A large space for family and friends of all ages. We especially loved the games and equipment available for our use. The well equipped ranch style kitchen/diner was a popular place for socialising and kids artwork activities. The balcony space was often full of family members relaxing in the sun, but there were also many other communal spaces to chill out in. We loved being only 2 minutes walk from the beach. Altogether one of the best places we have found for a large group of mixed ages.
