About this property

Classic 1950s house

Comfortable 1950s house with lots of original features and large garden .
Walk across the road to the beautiful regional park and golf course.
The beaches are tidal but great for swimming when the tide is high, the west coast beaches are close by.
There is a boat ramp at the end of the street for easy acess to the wider harbour.
This is a small settlement bordered by DOC land and the regional park, very relaxing and quiet, great for families and people wanting quiet time, not suitable for parties or loud music.

A really lovely stay. Fantastic host who was very helpful. The house was 50s themed which we really enjoyed, every thing you could want was available. We spent a lot of time sitting in the old fashioned garden, admiring the flower gardens and old established fruit trees, while watching the many birds and other wildlife that visited each day. Was a perfect place to base ourselves to explore the many beaches and other attractions the Awhitu penninsular has to offer. Would highly recommend to couples and families

Great retro spot

A group of us stayed here for a golfing trip at the local golf course, it was ideal. Loved the retro feel to the place and the location couldn't have been better. Communication was absolutely top notch. Thanks Kerrie!

Warm and comfortable

The house was adequate for our needs as we were visiting friends in the area. Beds were comfortable, the 1950's Frigidaire stove worked surprisingly well and the house was warm with two electric heaters going. It poured with rain for all of our stay so we didn't get to explore the garden. Kerrie is a good communicator and check in was easy.

Old Fashioned Charm

We chose this holiday house for a last minute, impromptu family holiday. It turned out so well. The house and garden are charmingly old fashioned which rubbed off on our holiday vibe. We sat in the shade of the peach tree for our evening meals. Took walks to the boat ramp beach and through the regional park and along the beaches. Had dinner at the golf club. It was a nice home to come back to and a hard place to leave.Highly recommended.

Charming.

Fantastic communication. Very long distance from everything. No good if you want to cheek out the tourist hot spots. But perfect for quiet times. House had ants. Also was very cold. No WiFi no microwave no dryer a clothes aryer to help dry items would have helped. Also the fire wood in back. Lean port need to be chopped. The fire is jammed on low so not alot of heat for a fire..... No pegs also alot of food was left in the freezer so no room to put our own. . Deffinality not a relaxing holiday. Felt more like a working holiday

Dear Tracy, I am sorry that the house did not suit you. We try our best to give an accurate description so that prospective guests can decide if it is suitable for them before they book. Awhitu is a rural location, and although it is only an hour or so from Auckland, it is not the place to go if you are looking for a city break. All the facilities present at the house are given on our listing.

Cute house/Quiet location

Such a beautifully set out home away from home. Lovely mid century decor, like stepping back in time. Gorgeous garden and backyard, we felt so comfortable there. The beds were super comfortable, I will definitely be coming back here.

Was unaware of the beauty in Awhitu. Well worth the drive. Would easily book again.

A timeless, comfortable home in a must see location. Wish we’d booked for longer!

Peaceful getaway

Kerrie was a tremendous host who went over and above to look after us. The property was just as described and we felt at home during our stay. The various fruit trees were such a treat.

Amazing 50s home

We loved staying here in this wee 50s house with some of it’s original fittings and decor but with all the mod cons to be comfortable. Our kids loved the big rambling garden especially picking plums. It was great to be so close to beautiful Awhitu beach for high tide swims and low tide walks. We would love to stay again
