Good place to stay
Beautiful gardens. Nice place. Only problem was not very clean. Kitchen cupboard handles very sticky had to clean them. Carpet very dusty couldn't breathe needs a good clean couches not cleaning a good water blast on deck would be nice. And floor boards are broken covered up with a mat could've went through floor. Single beds and bunk beds are good but rooms are very dusty and dingy grandchildren couldn't get on top bunk to close to roof.sleepout double bedroom nice but very dusty. Needed to air place out.Its a nice place but really needs a good clean and fixing up and Carpets not good cleaning would stay there again no for asthma.

Great Whitianga base
Had a great stay here. As explained in the listing, there are a couple of quirks with the house (e.g. one of the showers is a handheld shower head that doesn’t hook onto the wall, which isn’t ideal). The double bedrooms are great, with very comfy beds. Also no wifi, but we didn’t really miss it as we were busy enjoying the weekend! Brilliant convenient location, nice and close to the beach. Thanks to Sarah for great communications and preparing everything so nicely.

Rustic
Great location for shops and near to beach. Good fenced in garden for children. Well equipped
However the property is an original and quite run down and rustic in need of some care and attention otherwise would be lovely.

Great big family home
We had a lovely weekend away staying here with 3 families. The house is spacious and the yard even more so. Plenty of room inside and out for day to day living with kiddies. The house has a nice home feel to it and location wise is quite central, walking distance to shops, playground, cafes etc, the downside of that is the street was quite busy with cars at all hours and the front bedrooms are flooded with their lights and sound.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and it suited our needs really well.

A lovely weekend
An older property with lots of beds and in pretty good nick. Private backyard and deck. Great wood burner. Easy walk to main street and Buffalo Beach. A neat place to stay, even in winter.
