There's something about this place that keeps attracting me back to it. This was my 4th visit with a different group of friends that hadn't been here. They were totally impressed and had nothing but glowing comments about the cleanliness, room arrangement and all the linen, cutlery, glassware, etc that was provided.

The perfect family getaway.

I treated my children and the grandchildren a weekend away at this special place- a group of 8. The excitement of choosing which bedroom to have and who got the bunks was a highlight. There was just so much room for us all to relax or get together to play games together. The views over the Manukau was spectacular and we spent a lot of time on the deck just watching the sunrise, boats and planes. We loved the little walkway down to the private beach-a little steep for the oldies, but we made it! The kitchen was well stocked with every utensil and plates etc you could need and the beds were comfortable and cosy. We did not want to leave and we will definitely go back again for a family holiday. Thank you to Kim for letting us use your special place.

The Perfect Family Getaway

A great secluded place for a family to celebrate a birthday. Breath taking views from the deck and a much needed getaway for the family. Very spacious and had all the facilities that we needed for the weekend. Kids just loved how much room the house had especially the bunks. Easy access to the beach side and good to see the kids out in nature and away from their devices. Apart from the long drive (great scenic route) there was nothing I could fault on this beautiful two story home! I would definitely come back. I have already shared this place to family and friends that if needing a holiday...this is the place to be.

Amazing Stay

Our family recently stayed here for a whole week to celebrate our Mums 70th Birthday. 15 of us under one roof and the space was unreal. It slept all of us comfortably and plenty of extra blankets for the colder evenings. 2 living area's made for relaxed lounging which flowed into the dining area so everyone could enjoy each others company. The kids loved the cows in the paddock right outside and the views from the wrap around deck were amazing overlooking the water. Very secluded so it was perfect for a quiet getaway from all of the hustle & bustle of city life. The kitchen had everything we needed. Having the washer & dryer were a bonus as the kids were quick to get through their changes. Also having 2 bathrooms & 2 toilets was very convenient for the number of family we had staying there. Unfortunately the weather was too cold to make use of the beach and outdoor spaces but we did manage to go for a walk to check it out using the private access. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be looking to stay again when its warmer 😊. Liz was also very accomodating and helpful on more than one occasion and her communication was great along with some helpful tips to make our stay even better so thanks Liz. You definitely made things alot easier.

Great house for a big group of people. The 11 kids running around had heaps of space inside and outside. Greta to have easy access to beach and a nice walk down to local park.

This house was a great base for a number of our family and friends who were up for wedding from Christchurch. The house is awesome and well set up. We may have hit a couple of the coldest nights in Auckland waking up to a frost one morning. We were short just a couple of extra blankets. An awesome Little Bay at the bottom of the property.
