The formal dinning room seating 9 for all to enjoy a comfortable sit down meal, having direct access to the outdoor deck for a more casual relaxed dining for those summer bbqs where you can cook or smoke your freshly caught fish, following a fun filled day down at the beach. Then its time to head to the whisky cigar lounge, sit on the Italian sofas enjoying a relaxing drink over a chat, soak in the ambience. listening to music, chill with a movie or 3.
Maybe then enjoy a soak in the King and Queen shared spa bath.

Just minutes walk from three outstanding beaches (complementary 2 kayaks available)

Many established restaurants, cafes and bars within a few minutes drive. Or better still take a 10 minute walk.

Absolutely beautiful property and great location
We were super lucky to find last minute accomodation with Mel and Doug for NYE! Beautiful large property in coastal Auckland literally minutes walk from the beach and boat ramp. The decor and furniture touches, not to mention the lounge movie room, kids "princess room" etc. Plenty of deck to enjoy the sun and a BBQ, the kitchen was spacious for us to do all the cooking and prep we needed. Even had kayaks we didn't have a chance to use! The place was really well presented and overall very clean. Mel (and Jess) were both amazing hosts, super communicative and easy to reach if we needed at all. We highly enjoyed our stay and would easily recommend to family and small groups.

lovely location but poor cleanliness
There was a spa hose leakage on the checkin date and we had to postpone our stay. A couple of the drains don't work well, especially the one down the kicken's sink. We dined out on the second day cause dishwasher and sink not working. Cleanliness is another matter of concern.

wrong number listed on Bookabach- property not prepared
The number for the Manager is wrong on the website- once I phoned the Bookabach call center, the person answering the phone was not competent and could not understand what I needed. Asked the same question various times. We traveled far and came to greet a family member who is dying. We were already in distress and it took us quiet a while to gain access to the property. The manager also did not get the information that we were coming till a few hours before our arrival. Thus, #she was not home, #the flat was not cleaned and #no complimentary basics was present. # The kitchen and rest of the house was dusty and dirty- I cant fault her for this as she did not have adequate time to prepare. There was half eaten food in the fridge, and no salt /sugar/coffee. #The light in the main room did not work, #the wifi was off and the manager was not there to reset the modem, #the 2 nights we stayed, people on the top floor were playing music out loud and moving furniture. #The manager promised to get back to us re the Wifi more than once and it was only Saturday evening after texting again, that a man came over and apologized as they could not get anyone our to fix it ( appreciated the gesture). #The property was obviously in the mist of renovations (tiles in bathroom was not grouted, a piece of wood was just stuck over a hole in the roof of the bedroom door had a whole in it where a handle would be placed eventually? In general, I doubt if I will use bookabach again, this was quite a upsetting experience.

We were absolutely delighted with the location of the property to the function we attended and the friendliness and attentiveness of Mel. She was very welcoming and, had we not had other arrangements with family for the rest of our stay in Auckland, Leanne and I would've been more than happy to spend several more nights at Tindalls Beach. Next time we'll be sure to meet Sheba!
