Home away from home

We loved staying at this property. It had everything we needed, was super clean and well stocked with linen, towells, food basics and yummy home made shortbread. We loved the outdoor area and bbq and the kids loved the board games. The location is fantastic, so close to the beach and town and we were able to just jump on our bikes to get to both. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

Clean and neat.. close to beach

We had a short but lovely stay in this batch. Really appreciated the closeness to the cafes, beach, pool and everything. No need to use the car, everything was literally 5 - 10 mins walk away. The skater park next to the house was a great addition to keep the kids busy given the skateboards and scooters were already stacked in the garage for use. I really admired the amount of books they've got, a bliss for a bookworm. Nice furnishings and kitchenware. And thanks for the home baked cookies, yum. We'll be back.

Bookabach seriously at fault - House delightful

We arrived almost on dark to find that we had been given the incorrect address by bookabach. 292a Kahutia St instead of 282a Kahutia St. We knocked on several neighbours doors without success. 1 hour later we eventually located the owners daughter who drove around and rang us with the correct street number. This was unnecessarily stressful. The house interior was perfect and most suitable for our stay. Gaye Street

Once again Jill, thank you for sharing your home with us.
