We stayed at Foley Retreat for a family Wedding at the Boathouse, Riverhead. There were six of us staying at the property and it was excellent. Communication from the owner was brilliant and the property was very clean and well set up with everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying at Foley Retreat.

We stayed at the Foley retreat as we were up for a sporting event. It was a great house for kids and adults. Three bathrooms! And the games room was awesome. A lovely lounge and dining area and spacious kitchen.

Really great stay. We did find the nights cold, time of year, would have benefited from another blanket. But great spot, loved the view and sunrises

From the details, reviews and pictures of the property we expected things to be excellent! Pictures were the same as first listed and not as you find it. DVD player not there, deck chairs not there, fire pit not there, plus other items. Property very dirty, mould on things and walls, damp, musky smelling, smell of smoke in bedrooms. Wardrobe doors hanging off, drawers unable to open, curtains mouldy etc etc. We messaged Vrbo as soon as we saw the condition of the property also the owner Claire. Claire did send in cleaners for a clean, they did a good job. However we could not use the downstairs apartment as the damp and mould smell made one of our party cough. It would be a good idea if there was a book of instructions for tv, dishwasher, rubbish collections etc instead of sticking laminated details on the kitchen wall. A comments/idea page too for the owner to take note and enhance peoples stay. We certainly left the house cleaner than we found it. The whole house needs a lot of repairs doing to it.

This lovely house worked well for our party of three adults and two children. All rooms were spacious and attractive: the garage conversion as a pool and games room was a real bonus.
Although feeling slightly remote in a lovely setting some way along a cul-de-sac, we were close to motorway and other main roads to everywhere we wanted to reach for shopping, family visits, and other excursions into North Shore, West Auckland and Rodney.
We should be very happy to return for a future visit.

Of the four vacation rentals we stayed at in New Zealand, this was our favorite by far. Our favorite part of this place was all the birds we saw from the many windows looking out over the countryside. This place is perched high on a ridge so you have a view for miles in every direction.
The game room was a lot of fun. Even though my family doesn't play foosball or pool, we still had a blast trying these games out. We were a little worried about the heat in the bedrooms, which are in a wing of the house far from the heat pump in the main area of the house. However, the house cooled down very quickly in the early evening with open windows.

My daughter's and I had a very relaxing long weekend watching sunrises, the native birdlife and enjoying the peace and quiet. It was great to have a foosball and pool table for entertainment when it was raining. Kitchen was well equipped and it was easy to find everything.
Communication with Claire was great and is a very accomodating host. We look forward to staying again.

This home was perfect for us - great bedrooms and plenty of space. The house was spotless, linen crisp and beds really comfy.
The larder items supplied were a wonderful touch after a long flight and the views out of every window just beautiful.
If you are looking to an alternative location to the bays then this house is wonderful.
