Problem with book a batch
Great place lovely home. Will come again. Book a batch web site difficult. Wanted to extend stay. Had to go direct to owners for this. It would have been much easier to have direct contact with owners without the hassle and stuff up with book a batch. Owners were very helpful and accommodating.

Why they chose this property

We purchased Fantail Folly after falling in love with the house, beach and area when we stayed there a couple of times with our family. It was hard to find pet friendly fully fenced accommodation and this ticks all the boxes.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful and relaxing beach house with amenities close by in the township of Waikouaiti. Snuggle by the fire in the winter or sit in the garden in the sunshine in the summer and watch the cheeky Fantails flying around.
