We had a perfect stay at Carnie and Ivan's place. The house is ideally located right on the beach and has everything you need. The studio is located under the main house yet is very private and has spectacular views of the ocean. We were there for eight nights and felt right at home. The bed is comfortable, with loads of pillow choices and a well-stocked kitchenette. My husband enjoyed Ivan's local knowledge and they both went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Highly recommended.

Very friendly hosts, wonderful setting with a few steps down to the beach from a pretty garden.Everything we needed was in the unit which was comfy and well appointed.It was also very quiet.No hesitation to recommend & we would return if we have a chance.Thank you Carnie & Ivan
This place is more impressive than the pictures show. Carnie is an amazing host and makes sure everything you need for a relaxing beach front stay is availble. Waking up seeing the ocean every morning, walking on the beach gave us much relaxation after 4 1/2 weeks traveling in NZ.
This Wainui beach Bach studio was perfect for my husband and I. Beautiful beach view, gorgeous beach just a few steps away. Our hosts Carnie and Ivan couldn’t have been nicer. Carnie contacted me a few days ahead to advise me of road closures and offered to put us up early to avoid the closure. There is some surf breaks on this beach so my husband was a happy camper. We hope to visit again as it is a special place.
We came down for a family function the property was amazing perfect location and so clean and tidy.Carnie and Ivan were the perfect hosts we will definitely be back
We enjoyed our stay in the basement flat. It was immaculate, great bed and the view is amazing across a garden and out to the beach and sea. There is a steep grade to walk down, and stairs to negotiate to get to the flat’s access path. The beach is delightful and the community a real working town. Don’t miss the farmers market!
You have to go there to see this beautiful property on the beach.Everything you need is there with great hosts.Im sure we’ll be back.There’s only one problem here and that is leaving.
Just what we needed a perfect chill. Accommodation has everything you need and exceeded our expectations. A perfect beachfront location including fantastic seating to watch the sunrise. The hosts accommodated our requests. Definitely stay again
Very clean and well set up studio apartment. Private, quiet, lovely linen and towels & a wonderful view of the waves within a stones throw. Spacious bathroom with an excellent shower. Slept like a log & enjoyed walks on the beach watching the sunrise. Better than Waikiki!
Studio unit under hosts house. Views and positioned right on beach. Bathroom beautiful with plenty of products, towels and beach towels. Kitchen again with everything required to cook with. Comfy bedding, plenty of pillows. Bean bags and BBQ available. Outdoor shower to wash off sand and salt. Hosts welcoming and fun. Highly recommend for a couples stay.
