The house is as advertised with lots of space. We found it a great location near the beach, cafes and bakery and playground. Would stay again. Do be careful if parking up above the house though as there is a steep bank that’s hard to see from in your car!

We had the pleasure in staying in this lovely house with our little dog. Dorothy the owner was excellent to deal with from my initial enquiry to welcoming us to her lovely house. The house is very clean and welcoming. Big lounge ,very comfortable couches, lovely dining area with views out to sea. Kitchen well equipped with all cooking utensils in very good condition. Spacious bathrooms and comfy beds. So close to shop and lovely cafe/ restaurants in Waikanae Beach.
