Fabulous Family Holiday
Amazing, happy holiday destination. This property has so much more to offer than what is listed. Such a surprise when we arrived, it was the perfect place for an our family holiday and we were all sad to leave. If you are looking for a holiday with the kids with plenty of room this property has it with a touch of Kiwiana. We had everything we needed and any queries were promptly sorted for us by Lisa and Dave. We would most definitely use this property again. Thanks so much 😊

Great spot
We loved the location, not somewhere we had stopped before. House had plenty of toys for the kids. We had one cold night but once the fire was going for a while it warmed up. Plenty of character in the house which was a nice change for us. Only 15min to town which was handy. Lovely drive down the coast line. Recommend the house and location for a nice family getaway.

Family and dog friendly
Perfect for larger group and families - and the dog! Clean, warm, spacious, and outdoor deck/bbq area was perfect for sheltered cooking, eating and gathering. Lots of toys, dvds for kids, trampoline well fenced, even a stocked up garden! The bunk room for the kids was ideal. Good views, and easy walk around the township and to the beach. The locally made soaps were a lovely touch. Thank you so much, would love to come back sometime.
