About this property

Tidy lower ground floor apartment opposite the beach

Famous surf beach directly across the road and nearby access to many quality surf spots. The accommodation is located at Okitu Beach which is continuous to the north of Wainui Beach.

This space was used as a holiday rental a few years ago and was very popular. It was taken out of use for a while but I have just refurnished it so you can have some peace and tranquility while experiencing beach life without huge expense.

From my house, you have beautiful views of the ocean as far south as Mahia or north past Makorori. There is a great walk along the beach south to the lighthouse on Tuahine Point at low tide, or head up the nearby Makorori Headland for unobstructed sea views. This is a large house and property and we have the separate area up for offer to rent out. Off street parking right outside your accommodation door.

The bedroom has a brand new (Oct 2024) superplush super king sized bed, rack for hanging clothing, chair, blanket box with spare towels etc.

The lounge/living area has a brand new lounge suite 3 seater couch with extra chair, brand new 50" smart tv, free wifi, fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster and jug (not full kitchen facilities, more like a hotel studio). It is the warmest part of my house in the winter and the coolest in the summer. Separate shower and toilet are off the main living area.

I can organise surfboard and wetsuit hire for you to be waiting there for your stay.

Great place to stay if you want to enjoy the outdoors and the beach in a relaxed neighbourhood. And my house is on SH35 with easy access further up the coast to Tolaga Bay and beyond.

With Okitu beach over the road and town a 10 minutes drive away or 30 min bike ride, it is a great spot to enjoy for anyone during summer or come surfing in the consistent winter months.

Minimum 4 night booking over the Boxing Day to New Year period. Anyone wanting to book the place for Rhythm and Vines be aware the property will be for the sole use of the agreed guests, not for any hangers on or extra guests during the day time. The space is ideal for 2 people, however I am happy to consider up to 4 absolute max but this must be agreed to first. Any disregard of these rules will see guests asked to leave immediately with no refund as friends and family have had all sorts of drama over RnV under these types of circumstances.

Special conditions:
The space has one bedroom with one superking bed but I can potentially accommodate one more single/couple in the lounge if you are happy to sleep there on an airbed or mattress.

My young daughter and I will be in the house upstairs from the area you are renting. As it is our full time house.

Linen and towel included.

Amazing host!
We had a fantastic stay at Euan's apartment for three nights! From the moment we arrived, Euan was incredibly helpful and attentive. Knowing that I am pregnant, he even went out of his way to bring a fan to keep me cool during the hot days – a thoughtful touch that truly made a difference. The apartment itself was spotless, modern, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location couldn’t be better – just across the street from the beach, making it so convenient for relaxing by the water. I highly recommend Euan's place for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-located getaway!

Repurposed man-cave, providing the basics & across the road from the beach
The owner we runs the local surfshop, and is a great guy. Ideal spot for travelling surfers or people that want a spot to crash for the evening while exploring the greater Gisborne region.

The property was awesome it was nice and warm and inviting, had a good round of ping pong and darts. Only thing would be to have another couch or maybe a couple of lazy boys and a tv. But overall was awesom staying there. Definitely worth the price and a great place

Awesome place right on the beach! Was nice to have such a big space to ourselves.
Awesome place right on the beach! Was nice to have such a big space to ourselves. Loved having a game of pingpong and then being able to relax with some Netflix. Only thing I would change is a mirror that us short people can actually see ?? And a slightly softer bed would have been bliss. Amazing value for money, have stayed at places for 3x the price that have been nowhere near as nice.
