Simple, pleasant and friendly
Kate and Anton's place was exactly what we were looking for. The check in process was clear and felt very casual and trusting. The kitchen was well equipped and stocked, ready for cooking with our own food. Despite Kate and Anton living just above, it felt private yet friendly. Recommend for those looking for a spot close to the surf, an indoor space to chill and for those who will do a bit of self-catering.

Great place to stay on Wainui Beach
We had a great time staying at Lobbsters, enjoyed the beach and coastal cycleway at our doorstep. There was a great little coffee shop a few minutes walk away, and fantastic eateries a short drive into town. The ground floor apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was nice and easy to cool even on a hot summer day.

Comfortable & relaxing stay
We had a really lovely stay. A cosy bach that is only a stone's throw to the beach. We were super comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Anton & Kate were super welcoming on arrival, giving us some local tips.

Just what we needed
Catherine and Anton were friendly and helpful. Close to beaches and room out back for our surfboards. We paid a lot because it was only on e night but would have liked to stay longer. Negatives: not many no aircon, could have done with some milk for morning coffee. Recommended

Clean, comfortable stay for the four of us. They have thought of everything..just like a home away from home. Very close to the beach, nice quiet area..should've booked an extra nite.

Fantastic location.
Fantastic location. Clean and tidy unit. Would suggest updating fridge to fridge/freezer and having wifi these days is a bit of a given. Not an issue for us but probably should be clear that the unit is under the main house and there's a bit of a foot traffic noise. Great spot and we would return.
