Christmas at Whangamatā
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!

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.

Mothers and daughters weekend
What a fantastic house for a big group. There were six of us ladies and we had plenty of space with our own rooms and plenty of bathrooms too. It was perfect for the dog with the estuary and beach being so close. The kitchen was very well stocked so preparing food was easy. Communication with the host was always quick and friendly. To top it all off we had wonderful decks to follow the sun around the house and the fire kept us cosy. Loved our stay. We'll be back!

Perfect for us
We had a great stay here. We were a group 5yo, 8yo, mum, dad and granny visiting from overseas. We had one very wet day and they house was perfect to be in. We enjoyed the jigsaws, games and tv that came with the house. The downstairs granny flat was a perfect space for our visiting granny to have some quiet space when I needed. Its a quick walk to the estuary which we all really enjoyed and a drive into the main drag with the smaller legs amongst our group. House was clean and homely really well equipped kitchen and the decks were lovely.

Fabulous beach property for large family Group
Great property for a stay of 10 days for our large family group. All the facilities, space and resources we could have wanted. The estuary location is the quiet end of Whangamata, with access to estuary across the road and the surf beach a short walk away. We could all spread out across spaces - huge lounge, decks, downstairs unit and sleepout (with its own lounge area). Loved our holiday! Thanks Alan for great communication and responsiveness.
