Barking dog
The property was nice to stay in and in good proximity to the beach and shops however there was a dog tied up next door that barked non stop our whole trip. There were also a lot of wandering and malnourished dogs in the neighborhood which was sad to see

Great property, it was so clean and tidy on our arrival.
Clean is at the top of my list and this property was a 10/10. Nothing better than waking into a holiday home that’s clean and has everything you need on arrival. Everything was so easy from booking, to comms with the owner, to accessing the property. An easy walk to the beach. The neighbours were so friendly! We came to Ahipara because we have family there, so we will definitely be back and we will also be recommending this property to all our other family members.

Chained Dog Barking Constantly
First impressions were very good. It’s a nice home, was lovely and clean, good amount of space and owners have some nice art which made it feel very welcoming. HOWEVER the immediate neighbour had a dog chained on the fenced line between the two properties which totally ruined our holiday. We were there for eleven nights and with the exception of a one time short couple of hours this poor animal was chained 24/7 for the entire length of our stay. It was very stressed barked continually from around 6.30am to nearly midnight, and also barked at times through the night waking us up. The barking was relentlessly bad during the New Year period when there were more people going past it’s gate. I contacted the property owners who suggested I contact the dog control in the area but frankly we were so intimidated by the neighbour that we were scared of retaliation. One evening I was so distressed for the dog, and by the barking I called over the fence to the neighbour and asked if he could at least put the dog inside for few hours. His reaction was to come up to fence, swearing and abusing me, shaking the fence as if he was about to leap over it. I hurried inside before things got worse. I contacted the owner again about the problem, they said they would ask another neighbour to have a word but we didn’t hear anything back and nothing changed. Then I got no response to my following texts about the issues. We spent money hard saved money on this holiday, even when we probably shouldn’t have but we and our young adult kids needed it. We had a pretty bad time as a family during COVID period including family members stuck overseas for months, big drop in income and the slow painful death of my father due to him not being diagnosed properly and quickly during the lockdown. It was meant to be a time of healing for us all.Unfortunately it wasn’t. The kids only stayed a few days as the dog’s terrible situation and subsequent behaviour made things so upsetting and it was impossible to relax. So my advice- Do Not Book This Holiday Home unless the owner can guarantee you that this or another chained dog is not living next door. Get it in writing with a guarantee of refund if the problem still exists.

Cosy Cottage
This property was perfect for what we needed. It was clean and organised. We enjoyed the fact that we could walk through a short walkway to access the beach. I would suggest to bring extra bath towels if there are up to five people as it was a minimum and of course your own beach towels. All and all it was suitable for Ahipara.

Welcoming, spacious and inviting!
We arrived to a beautiful welcoming letter from the owners, along with a sample of their own locally grown (secret location) hemp seeds - was such a treat! The house caters to families by providing board games, a boogie board and even a dog lead. There are a variety of interesting books on their shelf available for when solitude is a must. The beds were made up hotel-esque with crisp freshly laundered sheets. And the art work through out the house is so interesting and lovely to look at. The deck allowed for some lovely gatherings (bbq incl.) and the shade provided by the pohutukawa tree on the corner of the section was a welcomed respite from the sun. Only a two min walk from the ocean, we so enjoyed having easy access to the water, and the neighbours were really friendly. Nga mihi! and thank you for such a lovely stay!.

Two out of five stars here, lovely place except for few cleanliness issues
Great location and good property, however disappointed with a couple of cleanliness issues ... firstly one of the double beds, though beautifully made had obviously been slept in as there were hairs dirt and sand throughout. Secondly the small rubbish bin in the toilet contained old dirty sanitary pads! Other than that loved our stay
