Simple and tidy. No ocean view like it states but you can hear the ocean. I wouldnt reccomend if you have sensitive smell it did smell like dog. The bathroom light and fan cut out like there was a shortage but great water pressure. I also didnt like that we couldnt come and go at whatever time when adventuring, fishing ect we felt pushed for time needing to get back to the accommodation before 10pm.

I dont want to say how amazing my stay was as i want to go back Again and Again and i need it to b vacant. But the truth is, we loved the spot, hostess, facilities and the price, EVERYTHING. There is nothing not to like, deck has views, bed is comfy, decor and furnishing r charming, facilities excellent, am i boring u yet. Oh and my old dog didnt want to leave. One zillion A plus's from me and he

Awesome spot. Can eat on the deck and see the sea. Can hear the sea at night. Lovely walk down to the sea. Beautiful white Sandy beach with surf.
Not far from Tairua which has the best crystal shop, bakery. Dog friendly town. And nice walk up the mountain.
Lovely getaway spot and bonus to be able to bring our fur baby.
Host was lovely and helpful. And even offered to look after our dog if we went somewhere where she couldn’t go.
We loved it

This is a beautiful and peaceful place for a holiday. We enjoy our stay very much! I love the ocean smell, wet breeze and warm sand on the afternoon beach. It's perfect for a couple to escape from busy city for a few days. Thanks a lot to Erika! Will be back next time!

This is a special experience to be enjoyed. Erika and Peter are fantastic to deal with and their wee dog Tobi is a real gem. The property is so tastefully decorated with all things relaxing and beach-y to put you right in holiday mode. The location is superb with a lovely view out to the ocean. It’s easy walking around the expansive reserve and the beach with lots of great walks in the area. I loved the way they treated my dog as a guest too.

Piece of heaven
We were so excited to return to Erika's place after our first trip a few years ago and once again it didn't disappoint.
Everything we needed with friendly and accommodating hosts in a prime location with views of the ocean from the deck. We and our pooch felt right at home. So sad to leave! We will be back!

Lovely relaxing spot
Great property with all you need for an Oceanside break. Close enough to Whangamata to utilise cafes and restaurants, but far enough away for some quiet and relaxation. Accommodation is well appointed, good supplies and a hop away from th beach. We loved being able to take our puppy on holiday with us too. Thank you for our stay and hospitality!

Friendly and helpful, close to the beach & forestry walking areas. Very dog friendly, our dog enjoyed the treats that were left in the unit as a welcome. Would highly recommend, we intend returning in the future.

Even though it was winter the place was cozy. Lovely view off the deck of the beach for a wrapped up coffee. So happy I could take my furbaby. Host also helped us to organise a lady to come and do massages on site. Bliss. Very quiet just what we needed. Thanks Erika
