Alexandra and Pavel were fantastic guests. They spent all day on the deck and at the beach surfing and playing in the water with their children. They were very appreciative of Surfs Reach and will be back next year.

This property is in such a perfect spot. It is the perfect getaway for 1 - 5 people. I loved the peace and tranquility. Excellent gear available such as SUPs and kayaks. Mel is a super property manager and Tony a great host. I really hope to come back!

Ohope beachfront

A great house in a perfect spot at the end of the beach along a private piece of the waterfront road. The beach is at the end of the driveway. The property manager and owner both good to deal with. The house has everything you need.

Fabulous views and beach access.

Excellent location, very tidy and well appointed. Friendly and helpful property manager. Only one suggestion would be to add an umbrella/shade for front deck to maximise an entire day of perfect views! Highly recommend.

Thank you for the kind words Jo and advice on putting an umbrella/ shade on the deck. We will act on it immediately and put one up. With the view and setting on the deck it does mean that the majority of the day is spent on the deck. Look forward to having you back Kind regards Tony

Thank you for the kind review Alaina. We are pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay and are very welcome back. It was great that you were able to take advantage of the large deck to BBQ and look out at the amazing views around the East Coast. Your son and grandson seemed quite at home in the Retro 25' caravan and speding time out onto the beach. You are a wonderful family. We will be excited to see you back. Kind regards Tony

Incredible location

Property is right on a beautiful beach with great views from house and deck. Property could be improved with some small renovations to make the rental more private, which I have discussed with the owner. Rental could also benefit from som renovations and updates, but none the less, a great location if you want a property right at the beach.
