Thank you, you made my day. You'd be welcome anytime.
Ideal spot for a summer break, with beach, town and estuary all within close proximity, and a nice quiet location. May well head back next year but for a few more days.
Super spot walking distance to beach and town.Perfect size and little garden for our little dog.There was a huge cockroach though in the shower ha ha which I nearly screamed the house down!! So just check before you step in… otherwise fab place

Why they chose this property
I love Whangamata with a passion. This house appealed to me as it has a fully fenced yard on a private site, and is insulated. In a bach town those things can be hard to come by. Its in a quiet street, close to the estuary. At night when the air gets still you can hear the ocean. Its my little slice of heaven.
What makes this property unique
We have a plum tree, feijoa, guava, lemon, and a very young apple tree. The site has shaded places to sit, and plenty of outdoor furniture. Its a short walk to Blackies cafe in Williamson park, or the estuary.
