About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Holiday in the Bay

You are most welcome to come and enjoy our comfortable home, it is an open plan with two bedrooms (queen beds) bathroom and lounge down one end and a master bedroom (super king bed), and an ensuite down the other with a kitchen and dining in the middle. The kitchen is a great space for entertaining. There are two mattresses and bedding located under one of the beds with all the bedding located in the cupboard, so you can accommodate more family/friends. The garden has a sleepout cabin with a queen bed also, so altogether you can sleep up to ten people (that's including the mattress under the bed) The garden is plentiful with fruit trees, and vegetables that you can help yourself to. There is a large lawn and some outdoor games that can be provided such as volleyball and bicycles. There are board games, lego, a cot, and a high chair for younger children if required.

There is much to do and see in the area and a list of local attractions will be provided.

It's just a few minutes walk to the beach where you can swim at high tide, paddleboard kayak, or fish off the jetty. I also have kayaks available to use if you wish to organize this with me.

Please get in touch with any questions as I am new to this and I will do my best to ensure you have a great stay.

Warmly,
Hannah

Relaxing stay
Relaxing house which was very comfy. Good layout, beds and showers. Listing does need a little updating - no dryer and no washing line, wifi while free is not unlimited. But a good stay and Hannah was welcoming.

Perfect getaway
Very quiet and friendly neighbourhood feel to the property and surrounding areas. The house was nice and lived in which we loved, great big kitchen for cooking up/storing food, and we grilled some meat on the open fire outside. Heaps of space/rooms and two lounge areas for all our guests to stay. The girl who stays on the property (a little closer to the main house than we realised) was really friendly and accommodating. Overall, really great experience and would recommend.

Great little property, felt liek we went into a community not just a housewhich we loved
We had an absolutely great time. It was just the right size house. The kauri Point bay provided for many a lazy afternoon lounging while the kids played in the water. A clear bonus was the local kids inviting ours to play which meant a lot of new friends. Thanks for a great experience.
