Easy stroll to the beach
Our family enjoyed our stay here in Whiritoa. The section is a nice flat size to kick a ball around, It is a family friendly property in a safe area which offers good value for money. An easy flat couple of min stroll to the beach with a couple of great walks either end of it to explore. We even managed to find some local honey. Owner was easy to deal with. Thanks.

Great way to get out off the city
Very tidy home with lots of amenities like board games, kayaking, and boogie boarding, surrounded by a beautiful beach. The only thing I would change is having more shops nearby so you don’t have to travel 15 minutes, but nevertheless, it’s a hidden gem.

About the host

Hosted by Olwyn Gillespie

Host profile image
Harry and I have always loved travelling in our camper van and staying at beaches around the North Island. Whiritoa had provided my children and I with many happy holidays while they were growing up. When an opportunity to purchase this beautiful, sun drenched property came up earlier this year we didn't hesitate to claim our little piece of paradise. Having travelled overseas for the past few years we were ready to enjoy a more permanent holiday home. We would like to invite you to relax and create holiday memories here as well.

Why they chose this property

30 Marlin Place is a modern, warm, single level home. Presented in immaculate condition, with quality furnishings and fittings. All you need to do is unpack, unwind and soak up the restorative powers of Whiritoa.

What makes this property unique

Our bach is located in a quiet cul-de-sac, situated on a flat, grassed section that is boarded by the Ramarama stream at its rear boundary. Great for outdoor games, b-b-q's and relaxing. Peaceful views over the stream to the surrounding hills. A short walk to the local store for coffees and take-aways, overlooking Whiritoa Beach.
