Seriously need to change the outdoor photos of the views of the beach from the kitchen

We were annoyed to find the house hidden behind houses and according to the photos there are no houses in front of the property and on the outdoor living space!! Overall, the property management were helpful when we needed them. We loved the easy access to the beach.

Review 9-16 January

The property is a great holiday location and we enjoyed our stay. It is within walking distance to Tokerau beach and driving distance to all the great attractions in the area. The section is great for back yard cricket! The house is very hot and does not have air-conditioning so sleeping at night was a challenge at times.

The Stay That Never Was

On arrival we were extremely disappointed in the property and considered the photographs on your site to misrepresent the actual position and nature of the property. We called the agent and did not stay. We only received a one night refund. Extremely disappointed is a euphemism for our true feelings.
