We were a group on a golf and surfing trip and this accommodation was perfect. Well located for beaches and the golf course, we were able to do everything we wanted. The bbq and kitchen was great for preparing food for all of us.

Perfect Location

Perfect location, shops are nearby but not too close to feel busy, beach is about a minute walk, and the layout of the house is perfect for multiple families/big groups. Plenty to do nearby with Waipu, Mangawhai and Whangarei a short drive away. Glynis was a fantastic host, incredibly accommodating and clear communication.

Home away from home.

Had everything we needed and more. Location was close to the beach, beds were comfy and had a good range to accommodate my extended family. Kitchen had everything we needed to make cooking a breeze. Loved the outdoor shower so didn't have sand going all through the house. Glynis was lovely, very prompt at replying to a couple of my questions. Look forward to coming back.
