Comfortable, clean and well positioned to explore the Coromandel. Great location with walking distance to the beach and the friendly local cafe and bistro known as Lukes!The accommodation has everything you need, and communication with the hosts was always promptly replied to. We loved our stay here.
We had a great stay at the bach recently. The property is exactly as listed. Amazing big lawn perfect for playing with the kids, walking distance to the beach and the shops. Nice and quiet location. Communication with the host was excellent.
Richard & Sonja's place was a fab spot to stay for our week by the beach! Highlights - everything you need in the kitchen, an outside shower, big garden for small humans to race around in whilst you watch from the deck (which has pull down sides for windy days). We love Kūaotunu & are familiar with the area, all the beaches around are stunning, with plenty of esturies for little kids to explore. Having the shops etc close is v handy.
Lovely modern holiday that home that is perfectly set up for kids and huge lawn for them to run around on. Close to the beach and in great proximity to other gorgeous beaches as well. Had a great stay - thank you!
Thankyou for letting us stay in your lovely beach house. We all thoroughly enjoyed the comfort and couldn't fault a thing. Awesome weekend was had, cheers.

Thanks so much for your wonderful feedback. Its great to hear you enjoyed the Bach and the peaceful surrounds of Kuaotunu!
The property is very comfortable and well suited to children.
The only thing I would criticize would be the BBQ. The flame tamers had completely disintegrated. We did mangage to use it a few times. Property is very quiet and beach access super.

Close to free tennis courts, children's playground, corner store, cafe, pizzeria & take away. Well fitted out property.
