Simply beautiful place to stay
Wonderfully presented house in a sunny location close to the shop and a short drive to the beach. Heaps of character indoor and out. Lots to do with books, games/puzzles, bikes, stereo and freeview. Woodburner for the cooler nights. We highly recommend this place.

Lovely Beach Holiday
This is a VERY well presented property, immaculate really, with all the luxuries that you would want for a comfortable home-away-from-home holiday at the beach. The lovely bi-folding windows kept the beautiful sea breeze sweeping through and the generous decking and fenced yard was great for soaking up the sun. It was perfect for our a time away with our young family. Quality appointments in the kitchen were very appreciated (MUCH nicer than what you would find in the the typical “Bach”) and contact with the property manager was easy and prompt. The beds were SUPER comfy too. We slept very well on them. All in all, 5 stars, no complaints, would DEFINITELY recommend!

We truly enjoyed our few days in this property. Spacious house for our family, very tidy and comfortable, with everything we needed. Just short walk to the beach. We had very relaxing time. The owner of the house and property manager are very helpful and immediately responded to any our questions or needs; thank you Arlene and Ursula! I highly recommend this property and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Excellent modernised beach house in a great location
Had a wonderful relaxing time in this newly renovated beach house. You can hear the beach from the hammock chair! We had comfortable beds and excellent facilities , all just a short walk to the flagged beach area. The local shop is next door if you need any essential items. A great base for all the activities in Hawkes Bay.
