Grandies paradise

A great place for our diverse range of ages. There was plenty of space for everyone to go and do their own thing including sleeping babies. The additional showers were a big plus. Proximity to the estuary and the beach was awesome especially with 4 little boys who had to be kept busy!Apart from the pantry door in the kitchen sticking quite badly and there being no dishwasher, everything else was spot on. Thank you

Christmas at Whangamatā

Such a great, well-equipped house! Wonderful hosts! We were a four generation group enjoying a long-overdue catch-up with extended whānau, so being able to spread out across all 5.5 bedrooms and the many living areas was perfect with our large numbers. It was just a short walk to the beautiful river and south end of the surf beach for lots of swimming, fishing and beach life. Thanks Helen and Alan!
