Kiwi batch
A great escape. A throw back to rural NZ on the wild west coast. The batch was simple but everything we expected. A great place to stay if you are heading to the lakes.

Detox
It's a small town and the house is nice and cosy and simple. Kitchen was nice and simple and had all the things you needed. Bathroom and toilet was simple and tidy. Highly recommend you do groceries at Dargaville before coming here! Otherwise you'll end up eating out which isn't bad but a drive to anywhere. Omamari is a very quiet place. The way to the nearby beach is close except you will get wet to get to the beach. Unless you've got a 4WD which looks like heaps of fun. Insanely quiet beach, but not suitable for swimming. Beautiful and long, perfect for a run. If you're keen to just do nothing and relax and detox, this is a good place for it! No wifi, but there is TV. No washing machine but you could hand wash if you need. The best thing was the night sky - stars were insane! Easy check in and communication.

Cosy little stay
Overall a nice little place to stay, good little spot to get to lakes around the area. It was very hot during our stay and only had one fan in the house so it did get a little uncomfortable at night as the heat was a bit much. Make sure you pack enough towels for your stay as the closest laundry is in Dargaville. The kids had fun exploring the area and heading to the lake everyday.

Great bach at a beautiful beach!
We really enjoyed our stay at Jim and Nikki's bach, it had everything we needed and was just as advertised. Perfect for a family stay and the beach was just a short walk away - the kids loved playing on the sand dunes. We couldn't get the oven to work even after following the resetting instructions but thankfully the lovely Maree let us use her oven to cook pizzas on the first night. Enjoyable stay, thank you.

House was what we were expecting. Great location and we had fun at the beach. Oven was a fight, and the couch was rather lumpy, but otherwise a good stay.

Perfect location to enjoy nature around.
We enjoyed staying in the property. Close to Kai Iwi Lake and beautiful beach. Water pressure was good for shower. It was quite humid weather during our stay and wanted to use a fan in the property but it did not work. Lots of mozzies and flies so I suggest people to bring some insect repellent for summer time.
