Mokino: Absolutely SENSATIONAL views !!!

""Best view in Mokau""

Upgraded Kiwi Bach , 5 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, (Sleeps 12)
Fabulous South and West views over Mokau Beach all the way past White Cliffs to Mt Taranaki, which our builder claims has the "Best view in Mokau". Stroll on spacious, wild and exhilarating black sand beaches with bleached driftwood and big surf. Warm and very cozy whatever the season and love the Sundowners ! You really won't want to go home.
_
"Mokino" is situated in a friendly cluster of 7 houses midway between Mokau and Awakino (each 3mins by car). Shared foot track provides direct access to the beach below, a right turn will bring you to a small cave and waterfall. Great fishing from the beach (kite/torpedo/drone) or cast a line at the Mokau or Awakino river mouths, also whitebait during season (September 1 to October 30). Excellent beach and cliff walks in the area (beach islands and loads of caves to explore). At high tide Mokau river has sheltered swimming/boating, particularly when sea is rough.

Bring your personal items, food, bed linen (sheets and pillow cases, maybe sleeping bags for kids) & towels. Plenty of Duvets, Blankets & Pillows are available. Great for 2 families, with 12 beds (3x queen doubles, 2x double/single bunks), and a further 2+ possible

North side of the house has a flat, sunny sheltered lawn (ok for tents). Awesome private hot outdoor shower for washing down after your swim. Garden partially fenced.

Mid winter getaway

Perfect location for us coming from Te Awamutu for a quick one nighter at the beach. Stayed on matariki and how winderful because the stars were very visable. As a dog friendly property we took our small doggo and he went nuts on the beach. We enjoyed it so much, thank you and we want to make a regular thing of it.
Beach below, a short but steep walk.

Mokino: Absolutely SENSATIONAL views !!!

Yes, Mokino: Absolutely SENSATIONAL views !!! and Bookabach ask, did you enjoy your stay? Yes, I did as I do each time I stay. This is about my 5th or 6th stay at Mokino over the last 10 years with the previous visit just 12 months ago. The views of the beach and of a cloudless Mt Egmont at sunset are tremendous. The sound of the waves on the beach at night was so relaxing after the time spent on the beach each day with the climb up and down the path to and from the bach with the walk to the mouth of the Awakino river a couple of times a day all adding to the appreciation of the stay and the surroundings. I will come back to experiance it all again.
