About this property

Whiritoa At Its Best

Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac and just metres to the beach is our property which contains the main two bedroom house with beautiful kitchen and full bathroom, open plan living and air-conditioning.

Also on site is a cottage that has a single over double bunk and another king single, a larger sleepout/common room that has a queen been, bunks and king single plus trundle.

This is a comfortable and private set up for either couples to share or families.

Wireless Wifi is included and there is an easy outdoor flow and space for the kids to play.

Fully fenced and gated.

Sit back and relax or head into Whangamata which is only a 10 minute drive away.

Whiritoa Beach features an amazing blowhole down the southern end of the beach and an amazing estuary down the northern end which provides the kids with hours of fun!

Recently listed as one of five of New Zealand's most underrated beach towns :)

Very relaxing

We had a great time with enough space for our family and extended family. We enjoyed exploring the location and the fact that there were not lots of people around. Great place!

Fantastic Bach and location

Great Bach, awesome location right next to the beach. Jo was easy to contact and the place was left sparkling clean for us. This is the perfect Bach for a large group, with four double beds and extras if you have kids.

Lovely Whiritoa

Had a wonderful stay at Easter with the family. We were 3 different families and this accommodation was just perfect for our needs. The whole process of booking was great from beginning to end. Jo, the host,had even left some Easter chocolates for us on arrival, which was very welcoming.

Great fit for us

We were 2 families made up of 4 adults and 4 children aged 15, 8, 5 and 3 and the house was perfect. Main house with the deck was great for eating outside with our large group and having an extra toilet was helpful. The outside shower was great especially with the little ones. The sleepouts gave us our own space and having a TV Nd bean bags in the sleepout was a bonus. My family with the 3 young chidlren slept in the bigger sleepout and we were extremely comfortable with the amount of space we had. Would stay again and Jo was a friendly and helpful host.

Gem of a property.

A well laid out, well appointed property just perfect for most. This little gem in beautiful Whiritoa was ideal for our family +teens friends holiday. The sleepout was a major bonus whilst the proximity to the beach, lagoon and shop made fir an easy holiday. Jo was the perfect host and everything you need is easily found. Thank you!! We loved it.
