This is a fantastic property on an awesome piece of real estate. not quite snow on the beach but it was raining hard and very very windy when we arrived. We knew it was winter in New Zealand and that we had a beach property so not unexpected. Great location to go see everything from the mud pools/geysers in Rotorua, Hobbiton movie set close to Katikati and even Mount Maunganui (awesome views). Lynette the host was awesome and made us feel welcome. Hard to find in the dark, especially in the rain so I recommend arriving in the daylight hours !!!
We had the pleasure of staying 3 nights in this amazing beach front property. We absolutely loved it. Very remote and private. The beach was stunning and all to ourselves (occasionally someone came along the beach) and the night sky was so dark it gave extraordinary views of the stars. We loved having the cows right ne t to us in the paddock. The home itself is a little small but has everything we needed and we were very happy with the amenities and felt very comfortable and at home. We enjoyed grilling and having the hot tub. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive even about silly things like me wanting to pet the cows. We absolutely loved our time here and wish we could have stayed longer. Great hosts and amazing home.
Great property, Friendly owners, Beautiful Area. We had a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Excellent and comfortable accommodation. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quite getaway. Cheerz, Mark T.
We had a lovely time, great place to get away from our busy lives and to reconnect as a family. Beautiful views and lovely friendly hosts! Would recommend.
This is the place to be if you're looking for privacy. Your closest neighbour is far away on another hilltop. The beach is just a couple of minutes walk away and you have it all to yourself. We'd love to be able to go back there again.
Alles im allem ein wunderschöner Kurzurlaub. Wir verbrachten mit unseren drei Kindern (4,5,7) vier Tage hier. Nach kurzen Startschwierigkeiten mit dem hot top würde mir sofort geholfen und es funktionierte perfekt. Die Kinder fanden es super. Ein perfekter Ort zum Entspannen. Gerne wieder
Awesome location- nice place to destress with the family. We were a group of 7; the weather limited outdoor access- if fine it would be superb. It would be amazing for a smaller group or two couples. A definite place to revisit.
Beautiful piece of paradise highly reccomend perfect spot for a family get away . great communication with Lynette&Geoff check in and check out was simple an easy . Only downfall was having to leave
Superb spot for a break. Loved everything about our stay including the rain, sun, wind, stormy seas and calm weather.
The two separate cabins were great - cosy and contained. Great hot tub. Comfy bed.
Primo! Thank you 🙏
Just arrived back this weekend, it is a lovely, very chilled out place , only afew mins walk to the beach which is amazing, beds so comfy! It was a lovely break away, kid's loved the hot tub,
Inly 25mins from main shops/restaurants,
If you live ribs book at the freeman, there the best ever!
Just one thing if anyone is planning on going, please take bug spray or lots of citronela candels, theres lots of bug with obviously been next to the beach and in the farm,
We had a lovely and peacefull stay with the most beautiful ocean view. You are right on the beach. We swam and had walks on the beach everyday. Our hosts were very friendly and accomodating. I would definitely recommend this bach to anybody who love the peace and quite of nature.
This place is a gem. The location is superb, only a short walk down to the beach which was great for fishing. The cabins are comfy and clean and we loved the covered deck for sitting and admiring the ocean and the sunset. Lynette is an awesome host, friendly and helpful. We loved our stay.
