We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Waihinau, quiet location, close to town, very helpful host with all our needs met.
Thank you for allowing us to take Amelia, our little dog with us - she loved it too!
We were so happy with this little place.
It was modern, beautifully presented, warm, close to town, quiet and private. The view to the marina is pretty at night and theres a nice big grass area to walk the dog.
Our family really loved our stay.
The extensive library was welcome on rainy afternoons.
Margaret was a great communicator and we would highly recommend this place for families.
We hope to come back again.
Thanks so much.
Absolutely love this property, the facilities are fantastic,the communication is great and it is quiet and peaceful and so close to everything you need. We have stayed here twice now and would definitely love to make it a regular holiday
Fantastic location & well appointed.
Our stay was during winter and the heating was excellent.
Only issue was the sleep out bathroom which didn’t have hot water
Such a lovely home. Plenty of room for a large family or group. All the mod cons. Handy to town. Beautiful harbour views. Will definitely stay here again
Wonderful stay for my family and I. House was warm, great view, and had everything we needed. Would love to stay again.
