Our whānau had an absolute blast on our first vacation during Waitangi week. The spacious house is located along the beach front which made tanning on the loungers convenient, while I monitored my children who spent there days kayaking, boogy boarding, building sand castles, collecting shells and exploring. We also got to see Dolphins swimming in the bay near. The 2 stores nearby (literally 5 houses away) has everything you need; fully stocked dairy/petrol station and a Takeaways/cafe/koha shed.
The home itself has everything a growing whānau needs to have a memorable time away; surround speakers for music, bbq, fire pit to cook smores, boogy boards, kayaks, cards, binoculars, an outside heated shower to prevent sandy children from entering indoors with tonnes of carparking space.
Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!!

Our group of Forest and Bird friends had a wonderful time at High Water Bach on lovely Oakura Beach. The house has a great capacity to host a good sized group and there is no shortage of any crockery, cutlery or pots and pans in the kitchen area. Wonderful sitting out on the deck in the sun, swimming just out your front door and many wonderful walks to be had. It's worth a visit to Mimiwhangata for those who like walking and exploring. Highly recommend this bach and thanks to the owners, we all had a great time.

A mint location with all you need for a perfect family holiday. Take extra toilet rolls though as we had to buy more (4 or 5 rolls not enough for the 12 of us over the weekend). Also take salt and pepper as nothing provided. These are minor comments for an otherwise magic stay! We loved the living/dining and kitchen space. Great to have an area that caters for the number of beds provided. Would definitely stay again and recommend!

Really loved location, amenities, atmosphere and kayaking. Need to pass on that we had noticed mould on pillows, bathrooms not too clean, dog hair on carpet and window sills need to be cleaned. Would stay again.

Great Bach for a family holiday. Despite the rainy weather we had an awesome time with all the books, games as puzzles. The rumpus room downstairs provided enough space for the kids to stay occupied.

Great place to stay, it was spacious for our family of 13 felt very inviting and was comfortable to settle into, house was very clean and well equipped in the kitchen as we had prepared alot of food for a family wedding, maybe just adding a larger pot would be a bonus also house is insulated so it was never cold, even went fishing out near the rocks we caught one there was a bench attached on the side. Wifi connection was great and overall the view waking up to was awesome. The neighbor hood is peaceful and quiet all you can hear is the ocean waves. Shops are so close by could even walk there. Definitely would recommend thank you so much Lisa it was a great experience to remember

Another perfect Holiday!
This being the second time we have stayed at High Water we were all so looking forward to it, and had the same wonderful time as last year. The property is so spacious, well equiped and on a lovely waterfront location that is was perfect again for our extended family.

Fabulous property, ideally suited to a couple of families. Sleeping arrangements a little tricky for our group of 13 adults, ranging from 60 to 80 years of age. Absolute beach frontage facing the sunrise made for great photo opportunities. Extremely well equipped kitchen, spacious lounge and dining area, excellent showers and very comfy beds (apart from the double bunk set upstairs ). Clean, comfortable and very reasonably priced, we would definitely visit again.

Large Home Directly on the Beach
This property was perfect for our family reunion. It is directly on the beach. The home has every beach toy, kayaks, and soothing ocean waves to delight the swimmers. We used our snorkeling equipment to see the fish and flora. The bathrooms are big and clean. The beds are comfortable and private. We had an excellent time, and all was as hoped. Althought the coffee shop has recently closed (for sale), the local grocery has much more than needed for snacks, alcohol, hydrating, cooking, partying, and fishing. Beautiful and colorful sunrises were all followed by bright stars at night. This bach is definitely a 5 star.

What a fabulous home stay in to rekindle our love of Oakura. We've been visiting since 1972 and missed that last few years due to circumstances. We absolutely loved everything about our holiday.
