Perfect location for us
The location was perfect, close to friends we were visiting. Older house, a bit musty smelling. Fantastic kitchen setup and supplies. Main areas were well cleaned. Due to kids we had to venture into areas like under the beds and down beside the fridge, where there were lots of dustballs and daddy longlegs spiders.

Classic Beach Bach
A comfortable bach with everything we needed for a family get-together, with the added bonus of being pet friendly. It was great to have enough room for all of us - 6 adults, 1 teen and a small dog. We enjoyed having ample comfy seats for lounging, large dining table for feasts and a lovely outdoor area. Would highly recommend.

Disappointed
We arrived at the house and thought is was going to be nice, as the outside looked good, and the pictures were average. As soon as we walked in, it was a disappointment. The place seems like an old cottage. The place felt dirty and the floor was coming apart. The floors were filthy and my white socks were black on the bottom within 20 minutes. Everything just seemed dirty. There were flies, ants, spiders and what we thought might be a dead cockroach. The only positive was the master bed was comfortable. I don't like to give bad reviews, but I feel it is important for others to know before booking. I know I would want to be informed.

Great stay
This is the second time we've stayed at Te Rangimarie as it works really well for our group of 4 adults, 1 child and a dog. Fully equipped kitchen and lots of space. Whilst not accessible, our manual wheelchair user was able to get around once assisted into the house.

House
House would be a good summer house but a little on the cold side approaching winter and having the fire condemned, room enough for two dogs to move around in they enjoyed it. A couple of bulbs that needed changing and then someone had put cutlery back and not cleaned them apart from that all was fine

Great beach bach for families
We had a great time there, able to play boardgames on the large dining table and go to the beach. Five bedrooms including 2 extensions giving on the lounge that had glass doors, ok for keeping an eye on children I suppose, but adults may feel less comfortable. Plenty of options for toilets and showers with a bathroom with toilets +shower, a separate shower in the laundry and separate toilets. Lovely front garden with well sheltered patio and succulents everywhere, we were enjoying being there while the wind was making it freezing cold at the beach. Small lawn area at the back. It took us more than double the announced time to walk to the beach and playground but we have a toddler... The worst point was the cleanliness (or lack thereof) when we arrived, our feet quickly turned black and we had to rewash all dishes we used. The absence of blackout curtains was compensated by the presence of blinds, and our bedroom could get dark for proper naps (or sleep-ins, but that wasn't on our program...). We didn't cook much, so can't really comment on kitchen options. One of the neighbours did some diy and woke some of us at 8h45 on an Easter Sunday, but otherwise the place was quiet.

Himatangi Beach Adventure
Our Whanau (2 adults and 2 children 6 and 8 years) stayed at The Rangimare for 7 nights and it was awesome! We had another Whanau of 3 come and stay for 2 nights and we still had plenty of room.
The house was comfortable, spacious, simple and homely. As soon as we walked in we felt welcome.
The house has everything you need for a holiday at the beach. Linen, tea towels, hand towels, bath mats, hand soap and kitchen basics were all provided which made life that bit easier!
Would definitely recommend :)
