Paradise in Waikawa Beach - Family and pet friendly - Home away from Home
Fire up the BBQ and then the firepit. Steak and Sausages - Marshmallow sandwiches or cook inside. Lots of board games for those nights without the TV. Send the kids upstairs to watch their TV. Lots of room for the kids and pets to run around. We have a high chair and porta cot. We are about 10 minutes walk to the bench.
Master Bedroom has a queen bed and foam mattress if you want the kids in with you. The dorm room has 2 sets of Bunks and 1 single bed with roll away under it. There is a toilet upstairs for those night stops. Downstairs is the garage come 3rd bedroom with a sofa bed - the washing machine and the dryer and second fridge for the wine and beer and ice creams. The main room has a heat pump and wifi - the kitchen - dining and lounge.
There is a lot of space for playing outside and it is fully fenced.
