We love going to Whiritoa, and this bach didn't disappoint! Nice wee modern bach a quick walk from the southern end of the beach. Good amenities, and comfy rooms. Heat pump for comfort if needed. Good communication with the owner. We enjoyed our little getaway, thanks!
Great place Whiritoa, no shop unfortunately this time with personal circumstances of shop owners affected. Close to beach with quick walk from accommodation. Missed wifi but no drama. Clean tidy quaint little stay.
I believe we were very lucky in what we booked for our holiday just before Christmas. We were with friends. None of us had been to these places before. The house is very cozy. Neat, clean house. Everything you need is there. And most importantly, the beach is a minute's walk away. The beach is wonderful! And we were lucky with the weather. We were worried that it would rain all our weekend, but no. We swam, sunbathed and had a very good rest. Thank you Tania for the wonderful house near the ocean!

Nettes Häuschen, auch für Familien mit Kind
Ein kleines nettes Häuschen, sehr kinderfreundlich. Bettbezüge werden separat berechnet wenn man keine eigenen dabei hat. War bei allen Unterkünften auf unserer Reise durch Neuseeland bisher immer mit inbegriffen.
Excellent Bach with all the facilities supplied. Surprised to find the kitchen to have everything. Nice and clean and very close to beach. Really nice place to stay and will be back again.
Recommend to any one wanting a nice clean place to stay.
Thanks

The property was brilliant, clean and tidy and easily accessible to the beach. and
We really enjoyed this property and how easy communicating with the owners was. We enjoyed the location and we spend loads of time at the beach and exploring Whiritoa and surrounding areas. The local cafes burgers were a highlight!!
Tidy little house, perfect for us as 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Not far from the beach and walk to the blow hole. One of the nicest places we've stayed.
We stayed at the property two nights and had an awesome time at the beach. Clean with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay- including the hammock! Recommended!
Only downside was there was no wifi and bad reception but great get away and just what I needed
