    Good communication before our stay which was really appreciated. From the moment we walked into the living area and saw the view we knew we had picked a great place to stay. The securely fenced garden was an ideal playground for my disabled grandson.The family are already planning the next trip. Oh, and the one footed weka is Hoppy. Just don't tell them that the kiwi they spotted one evening was actually a rabbit.

    There is such a gorgeous feeling to this property. Tranquil and restful. Lovely large kiwi style bach with plenty of room and everything you'd possibly need. We loved it here.

    This was a lovely place for us and our doggie being fully fenced. It has a wonderful view to relax in and easy access for beach swims, it’s a beautiful spot. The house was well equipped and there’s great supermarket down the road.

    This holiday home was exactly what we needed. Lots of space and a superb location. Great to be on the beach with sea views and the setting sun.

    Tapeka point is so beautiful, the photos can’t quite do it justice. Steps to a sandy beach and another beach within 100m, amazing view walks/hikes from the doorstep, kayaks and beach toys provided. Our family - infant to mid 60’s had a wonderful stay. Communication was quick and effective with Barry. Their recommendations were very good - we really enjoyed outings to Waitangi treaty grounds, day cruise with Island Getaway from Russell dock and the Swordfish club for dinner. We’d happily stay again!

    Tranquil surroundings, beautiful views and so much to do and explore. Very handy to everything you need. I will definitely be back to enjoy this retreat again. Love the photo wall of your family it gives a story but one you feel apart of of.

    Spacious rooms and excellent location to relax in. Only one issue was that gate could not be closed which meant we couldnt let our dog free reign of the section. This wont affect other people as neighbours were working temporarily with the fence down.
