We had such a lovely stay here and genuinely enjoyed every part of it.The house is spacious and really comfortable. We stayed as two families and, even with everyone together, it never felt crowded or overwhelming. There was plenty of room for both adults and kids to spread out and relax.The kitchen was very well equipped — we cooked most days and always found everything we needed. It was just as easy to make a quick breakfast as it was to put together a proper BBQ dinner, which we really appreciated.The garage with the table tennis table was a big hit. We ended up spending a lot of time there — it was one of those unexpected bonuses that made the stay even more fun.We travelled with three young children, and the house worked really well for families. There were toys available, which helped keep them entertained. The space in front of the house is open and generous — while it’s not fenced (so of course you need to keep an eye on little ones), it gave them lots of room to run around and play.There was also a great selection of board games. There were books available too, and the TV with Netflix made evenings easy and relaxed.This was our first time staying at Cook’s Beach. For years we had always stayed in Whitianga, but after this trip, we realised Cook’s Beach was absolutely the right choice for us. We’ll very likely stay here again in the future.Overall, it’s a warm, welcoming place where families can really settle in and enjoy their time.
