Lovely bach right at the beach.
We barely arrived when my teen was exclaiming, "this is the best holiday home we've ever been to". And it is. A lovely home with all the usual amenities, plus a porch and giant backyard. The kids absolutely loved running free. And the ocean is just across the road. We had a great week and really enjoyed exploring the area.

Beach Side Batch
Overall not a bad little batch. Great for a big group with a fenced backyard for kids to run around. The house and furnishings are well loved. The downstairs bed (which I slept in) needs to be updated as you roll to the middle. There is also no plugs in that room to charge anything. The couches are old and sitting on wooden planks but everything is functionable. The beach is rocky and not suitable for kids to swim in but morning walks along the pathway is lovely. Close to both Hastings and Napier but get the peace and quiet of a small village.

Great property for a group, right on the beach..
We had a wee hiccup to start with, where the cleaning team had forgotten to clean before our arrival, but the property manager sorted everything out promptly, and the stay itself was great. Plenty of room for everyone, and good kitchen tools and supplies so we could cook and serve meals. Lovely hearing the sounds of the sea as you fall asleep! Would happily stay again anytime.

We had a beautiful stay! Waking up to lovely sea views. Our weather was rough but the home came with plenty of heating including a downstairs fire and provided wood , multiple heaters. 2 bathrooms with great pressure in the showers. The house had everything we needed including extra towels and blankets. Kitchen supplies were in full. Thankyou very much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Highly recommend

This house past its used by date. It is old, dirty, grotty and was never cleaned prior to us staying there. The carpet is old and dirty. No floors were cleaned prior to us staying there. The kitchen was dirty the oven hop just got a wipe over and not cleaned properly. the toaster still had crumbs on from the previous tenants. The sheets I suspect were just put back on without being washed the smelt. Over all very poor.

Great location
This property is in a great location however we unfortunately were hit with bad weather during our stay so did not get to enjoy it. The house definitely needs some upgrading, in particular the carpet and things like the taped window in the bottom bathroom. Otherwise, good facilities and huge outdoor space.
