Mothers and daughters weekend
What a fantastic house for a big group. There were six of us ladies and we had plenty of space with our own rooms and plenty of bathrooms too. It was perfect for the dog with the estuary and beach being so close. The kitchen was very well stocked so preparing food was easy. Communication with the host was always quick and friendly. To top it all off we had wonderful decks to follow the sun around the house and the fire kept us cosy. Loved our stay. We'll be back!

Perfect for us
We had a great stay here. We were a group 5yo, 8yo, mum, dad and granny visiting from overseas. We had one very wet day and they house was perfect to be in. We enjoyed the jigsaws, games and tv that came with the house. The downstairs granny flat was a perfect space for our visiting granny to have some quiet space when I needed. Its a quick walk to the estuary which we all really enjoyed and a drive into the main drag with the smaller legs amongst our group. House was clean and homely really well equipped kitchen and the decks were lovely.

Fabulous beach property for large family Group
Great property for a stay of 10 days for our large family group. All the facilities, space and resources we could have wanted. The estuary location is the quiet end of Whangamata, with access to estuary across the road and the surf beach a short walk away. We could all spread out across spaces - huge lounge, decks, downstairs unit and sleepout (with its own lounge area). Loved our holiday! Thanks Alan for great communication and responsiveness.

Great Home with space for everyone
We absolutely loved our stay, lots of space for adults and teens to hang together as a family, or when you need a bit of time apart! The home was very clean and comfortable and has everything you need to enjoy a holiday at the beach. No dishwasher, but that’s what teens a for right :) Alan the owner was fantastic to deal with, I’ve already booked again for our next trip to Whangamata. Thanks so much Alan 😊
