The property was perfect for our large group, who were attending a golf tournament. The golf course is a short walk away. Everything that we needed was provided, making it easy! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.

Great place to have a night in and close enough for local food with a view. Perfect sport for us and hopefully we get more games in goldenbay next year to come book once again
This house was perfect for us, travelling as two families, spacious living and kitchen for the group, comfy beds, and entertainment for the teens. Beach was so close, House was tidy and clean, the whole trip was positive. A lovely base to return to when exploring the surrounding area. Thanks
There were 7 adults staying in this house so it was great having three well equped bathrooms. The entire house is so well equiped. There was a large kitchen with a huge fridge, plenty of pantry space and everything you could need in a kitchen. Lots of living space.Beds were very comfortable and the host was very easy to communicate with.
My family (Nan, Grandpa, my brother, sister in law, 3 nieces, nephew and myself) stayed at this holiday home for 6 wonderful nights.
The property had everything that one could ask for and more. The location could also not have been better.
Gabrielle was a fabulous host and communicated with me in the weeks leading up to the trip. The suite on the lower level had been damaged in the August floods and unfortunately could not be used but they provided a caravan for our us to use to make up for the shortfall in beds. This was a perfect solution.
It was the best family vacation that we have had in a very long time. Many memories were made that will be shared for years to come, I'm sure.

Thanks very much for your great review. You are very welcome back anytime :)
Overall very good, with excellent facilities. My wife was staying with her school teacher friends. We we’re pre warned about some decorating going on which was fine, but not told there was no vacuum to clean prior to leaving. One thing needs to be sorted is the downstairs shower temperature regulator was playing up and needs looking at. My wife rang the help number prior to leaving and was told the vacuum had broken, plus the lady apologised for not leaving the bath mats out.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the holiday home. We had 9 of us stay and had everything we needed. The "games room" in the garage was great and well used.The house was very clean and well maintained with all furniture and utensils well suited.

We organised a holiday in Golden Bay at an unfortunate time - a time of unprecedented flooding. Our Pohara base was a sanctuary after stressful days negotiating mud and closed roads. The house was warm, dry and easily accommodated our needs. Thanks to Gabrielle for checking in on our situation with the flooding.
