Kim, your house is like home away from home. We have been coming to the house since the last 15 odd years and each time we add on more to our bundle of beautiful memories.
This house is like a goto staycation where we like to come with friends and enjoy a relaxing holiday.
It was lovely to see the changes you have made.
Thanks once again for letting out this beautiful house 💞

We had a fantastic time, great house, all that you need and more. Fully stocked kitchen, linen, bedding. Fantastic views, even with the rain and a few minutes walk to beach. A must do is Awhitu winery about 6 minutes walk. Thanks & We look forward to staying again

There was 11 of us stayed and there was absolutely nothing we ever wanted not available, the house is just well supplied with everything and good quality items. The water supply was adequate for us and taste was okay.
Only thing I recommend to the owner would be to update the BBQ.
Apart from that very happy to recommend the property to anyone wanting a modern large dwelling to lay back and enjoy a quite relaxing time.

The property well exceeded my expectations. Was a fantastic weekend with every amenity covered and we even made it two doors down to the local winery for tasting. The beach is absolutely beautiful and we felt like we were overseas, will definitely be booking again.

We have just returned home from the most incredible weekend in Awhitu! The accomodation exceeded all of our expectations and we all adored exploring the area with our kids. The lounge was perfect to relax with a large group and the bedrooms all perfect in size and comfort. The lovely winery next door was a wonderful treat - a truly luxurious afternoon escape. The beach was fun to explore and all of the cheeky crabs kept our kids well entertained. Best of all - wake up, pour yourself a yummy cuppa and enjoy the most stunning view from the deck. We will be back. Thank you so much!

We loved our long weekend here, the house was perfect for our group of 3 families with young kids. Lots of space for all of us. The covered verrandah perfect for toddlers to run off steam in the rain, the beach was a great playground for them too. Thanks for having us.

Where do I start? The house was absolutely beautiful! The photo's online did it no justice. I loved the area, it was stunning, quiet and secluded which was just awesome for myself and my family. The views were gorgeous and the house had a lovely feeling, so welcoming. My family loved their stay as well, some didn't want to leave! It accommodated to us all from our 6 month old baby, our 60 year old Koro and everyone in between. We've even talked about booking again in the summer time. Thank you so much!

Our family of 7 adults and 9 children rangeing from 2yr old to 14 had an awesome family time together. The house accomodated us all comfortably with huge living spaces. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you would need.
Would love to have a family summer holiday here as all kids loved beach. We travelled most days to Auckland for adventures and although driving wasnt a problem the amount of traffic and motorway delays made for lenghty travel times.

As a spot for a family get-together, this suited us very well. Lots of sleeping space, large relaxing area, spacious and well-equipped kitchen, and the bonus of the outside deck to spill out onto even if the weather is a bit wintry. The views and the access down on to the beach are a real treat for children or adults. Communication was great. We found this great value for money.

We took a group of teenage exchange students for their final camp here before they flew back to their home countries. The beach location was perfect - there were tears as they paddled for the last time in NZ! - and the house itself had plenty of room for our orientation activities. The house was clean and comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the excellent communication from Liz made checkin and departure totally seamless. Thanks so much!

Just a short stay for a few nights. What’s great is not having to pack anything except clothes and food! The house has everything you need. So handy having your own access to beach - we spent hours down there.

Communication with Manager was great. Check in and out was awesome. Our big group absolutely loved the house. Having a big group it still felt like you had your own space. Everything was just right. Absolutely recommend for anyone wanting to chill and relax. We will definitely be back whenever we can.
