A great stay, very large for a one bedroom property. Just a stones throw to the beautiful beach, and a very short walk to local shops & eateries. Would absolutely recommend.

Modern, spotless, well located and friendly open setting

We had a lovely stay in the boat house. The facilities in the house are excellent and cleanliness was five star. The owners and their children were very friendly, and we especially adored their dog. Owners were really helpful with local tips and loan of beach towels and their outside coffee table! The boat house in the back garden of the main house, so it is an open setting and you live alongside the (lovely) young family. We adored the dog and kids so felt very comfortable sharing the space with them and had a lovely stay. Highly recommend for your Oākura visit!
