Patuwai ('By the Water')

We loved the spaciousness of the property, it's natural light and comfortable furnishings. The grounds were well kept and included off-street parking. The surrounding streets were flat, safe and easy to walk the dog.

Great location, fitted 12 of us , with plenty of room, wasn't cramped. Awesome having 2 decks. Beds were super comfy. Quick walk to the beach and estuary, fish and chip shop. Was lovely and clean. Communication was great, check-in was easy. Would definitely come back again!!!

Great spacious house for families, clean and comfortable home away from home. Great location as well.

Another great family getaway, such a good location

Great communication with the host. The house was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. Will definitely stay again.

Great location, only a short walk to the beach.Large comfortable house with good amenities.

Awesome house. Awesome location. 2 adults and 5 teenagers stayed for long weekend. Well set up house and separate sleepout. Heaps of room for everyone and more if need be. Close to estuary and beach. Everything you need there. Definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay. The house is spacious and very well equipped for a beach getaway. Thank-you!

As always perfect location and catered all needs.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at delightful whangamata the accomodation was perfect and suited our age range from 6 months to 60 years old and our pets. Alan was a super host nothing was too much trouble and his communication was brilliant .I would definitely recommend this accomodation to my friends and family and would love to stay again Thanks for everything super memories .

An excellent house for all the family to stay. Location is ideal - a quick walk to the estuary and shop. Nice quiet area. The fire makes the house cosy (and hot) on the cooler nights. This will be first choice whenever the entire family stay at Whanga.

very enjoyable stay once again

Comfortable, roomy easy for a large group to manage. All amenities were brilliant.

A great place and such accomodating owners as we had to change the date last minute and re book. Thanks so much for hostinf our surf team!

Close to both beach and estuary, nice and peaceful and plenty of room.

Loved the property which was perfect for our group of 4 couples. Communication with the owner was 10 out of 10. They were very lovely and accommodating and helpful

We were disappointed with the property, particularly the downstairs bathrooms and lack of maintenance. There was a broken chair on the deck and a broken blind in the dining area. When we arrived the cleaning hadn’t been done and piles of laundry were outside the bedrooms

The property was the perfect beach break for our large family group. Located across the road from the Estuary reserve and the surf beach at the end of the road (or accessed by walking along the beautiful estuary walkway.

A great place for our diverse range of ages. There was plenty of space for everyone to go and do their own thing including sleeping babies. The additional showers were a big plus. Proximity to the estuary and the beach was awesome especially with 4 little boys who had to be kept busy!Apart from the pantry door in the kitchen sticking quite badly and there being no dishwasher, everything else was spot on. Thank you

Spacious house, with two large decks. It has everything we needed. It is a convenient location to the estuary and beach, friendly neighborhood. Helen and Alan were great communicators. Would happily stay there again.

Plenty of space inside, great decks outside. Very well stocked.

Such a great, well-equipped house! Wonderful hosts! We were a four generation group enjoying a long-overdue catch-up with extended whānau, so being able to spread out across all 5.5 bedrooms and the many living areas was perfect with our large numbers. It was just a short walk to the beautiful river and south end of the surf beach for lots of swimming, fishing and beach life. Thanks Helen and Alan!

The house was great for a large group. Comfortable, good location and good communication with host. Appreciated flexibility re check out.

This was our second time staying here and wont be the last, is a perfect home away from home. Look forward to getting back there again!

Had a boys golf trip . Was perfect for what we were after . Nice decks . Plenty of beds . Thanks

Nice property. Great area. Well appointed. Good bedrooms.

Wonderful stay and beautiful home thank you

We loved it! Thanks Alan. The kids loved the easy access to the estuary for fishing, flat cycle into town. House is great, had everything we needed. Already planning our next trip back. Thanks again.

Awesome house! Has everything you need and plenty of beds, perfect for big groups.

Second time staying here. Great place. Rained most of the time so the fire was fantastic!

Plenty of space for multiple families to have their own space while enjoying extensive decks and comfortable dining/lounge area. Fabulous heating from freestanding fire. Well equipped kitchen! We’d love to stay again.
