    No ambient lighting: turning on the lights was like preparing for surgery. Could use a table lamp or two.

    TV was poor streaming and only freeview channels. Sofa beds were required for more than 2 persons. Kitchen was compact and lacking a stove.

    Great outlook out across the bay. We had nice walk along the beach. Very comfortable inside and bathroom was clean.

    This is a place where you wanna stay forever. A gorgeous view at the ocean and rocks, a royal bed where you can sleep through the lulling sound of the waves, stylish design and a few minutes away from bars/resto/shop through the beautiful jungle path. The owners are amazing; welcoming and friendly, we had a great evening together. If/When we come back one day to Whangaparāoa, we'll definitely stay in this place again. Vicky & Wane, you are real super hosts! ★★★★★

    Could have used some bed side lamps as I enjoy reading before I go to sleep. The over head lighting was very bright

    What a perfect place to spend our last few days in New Zealand. The place was clean bed the most comfortable bed we slept in the entire time we were in New Zealand. Had some great food was totally relaxing just sitting across from the beach enjoying sunshine and watching all the activities going on. The people who own the place are right upstairs if you have any problems which we did not

    Nothing, the kitchen is fairly basic but there is a big gas BBQ and stove on the terrace

    Beautiful location, with a lovely beach just across the road. Excellent hostess, very friendly and helpful. Ideal spot for a relacing end to our stay in New Zealand.

    There wasn’t anything to dislike.

    Everything! It was so beautifully clean, and so luxurious. Having a bath and a shower was perfect, and the bed was the most glorious I’ve slept on for a long time. The views are perfect, and the living spaces are ideal, specially the outside spaces. The outside shower was great after our many swims. Vicki is such a fabulous host. She pointed out all the beach toys there for my daughter and I to use.

    There is nothing not to like, just a couple of suggestions to improve the stay. The bedroom could do with a second bedside locker and perhaps a ceiling fan for those warm nights, after all, not everyone is comfortable leaving the doors open at night.

    The hosts were really accommodating,nothing was to much trouble,even helped move the water toys to and from the beach, just about anything you could think of was available, even down to a cricket set that appeared after our grandson mentioned he liked cricket! The location couldn't be faulted, only steps to the water, the unit itself was spotless and, again, everything was there for you, even down to an automatic toaster!
