One of the best places we've ever stayed

We've stayed at almost 100 different places in NZ over 13 trips and this one rates near the top. Fabulous view, stunning house, total privacy, excellent support from the property manager. We loved it and hope to return for a longer stay in future.

Beach getaway

Fantastic place to escape to and enjoy the beautiful views across the coast. Waking to the bird song and sound of the ocean was the best start to our day. Sandee, the property manager, could not have been more helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Paradise found

This is an absolutely fantastic home perched above the Pacific with the gentle roar of the surf washing up on the beach below and the plume of smoldering White Island on the horizon. The expansive bifold windows create an amazing vista, and they can be completely opened to allow the sea breezes to fully engulf the house. The kitchen is fully appointed with all amenities, and with the incredible view and the gas grill on the deck, I had no interest in eating meals anywhere else. The bush surrounding the yard was full of native birds and their calls, including tuis, rurus, wekas, and even kiwis. I particularly enjoyed long daily walks on Ohiwa Beach as well as great bike rides along the gentle Dunes Trail and the thrilling Pakihi Track (I highly recommend seeing Grant at The Travel Shop in Opitiki for bike rentals and assistance). Sandee had everything arranged perfectly on arrival and checked in frequently to make sure everything was going well. This was one of the few corners of New Zealand in which I had not spent much time previously, but I will definitely be coming back if I can stay at this home again.

Spectacular

We thoroughly enjoyed the property. The view from the deck and inside the house was spectacular. We loved the privacy. The only suggestion would be to have two sets of bed linen and more towels. Every thing else worked out great.

Stunning house on the hill

We stayed at this property to celebrate my 50th and even though it rained while we were there we felt snuggly and comfy in our little hideout on the hill. What a magical house. We have told our friends and family and we definitely be back. Thankyou. I hope you find the pies we left you ❤️
