A lovely, quirky kiwi beach bach close to the beach with Bayfair shopping centre not far away. A cafe, dairy and takeaway shop were just up the road as well so all and all, a great location. Cozy and comfortable for a weekend couples getaway or a family beach holiday.

Wonderful spot for a long weekend. We had nice weather, so we enjoyed sunrise walks on Arataki beach every morning and then coffee and breakfast at the cafe just down the block.Place was the perfect combo of clean but comfy so you could feel like you could relax, perfect for travelling with kids, and Gail and her family were friendly and very helpful with any questions.
