About this property

Well presented 2 bedroom property with great views at Otaki Beach

Rata St is a well appointed two bedroom property at Otaki Beach, on a high elevated section with big views from a deck that wraps around the property. At the front are awesome sea views and at the rear are great views towards the Tararua hills and Otaki Forks. This property will suit a couple, or two couples, who want a relaxing beach holiday.

The property has been recently renovated and is well appointed with a new kitchen. There is a big TV with fast fibre internet for Netflix etc. The house is warm in winter with a firebox in the living room and lots of dry wood.

Please note that to keep costs down for our guests, linen is not included. We have no cleaning fee. If you are an international traveller without linen, please ask and we can normally make arrangements for you.

With the awesome view comes a steep driveway! It's not suitable for caravans, trailers, motor homes etc. They can be parked on the street.

We did enjoy our stay and the location. The weather was not the best but I can imagine it would be a wonderful place to be on a good day. The only other negative besides the weather was the cleanliness of the property and having to clean the kitchen and bathroom prior to use and wash the duvet cover.

Cute Whare, Steep Hill

Kia ora!What a beautiful house, was a pleasure to be hosted here. Would be awesome to make it clear in the listing that Linen needs to be brought by guests, or explicitly asked for. There was some confusion there but it all worked out in the end! The views of this house was incredible and the neighbourhood seemed quite lovely.Would come again!

Cute house, fabulous views.

The house was nice, and had everything we needed. It was not super clean on arrival, and the hot water ran out on us 2 days in - solved by some experience of gas bottles on my part. Nothing terrible - just not perfect.Wonderful views from the house, and nice sized rooms.Don't attempt the driveway if you have a big car, unless you have nerves of steel.
