Beautiful place to stay, you have everything you need, including a full kitchen, smart tv, comfortable bed. You can park in front of the door and it is walking distance from all the restaurants. We had a lot of rain while we were here and we were so happy we were staying in such a comfortable place.

The location was ideal right on the beach, we had 2 queen beds and with the pull out couch it worked very well for a family of 5. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Just what we were looking for.

I paid a bit more than I usually do for a room and I’m glad I did. The room was spacious, clean, had all the facilities we needed…and it was a great view of the water and some good people watching. The location was great, a short walk to everything and not far from Waitangi. The lady who greeted me at reception was lovely and helpful. Would stay here again.

The ocean directly across the road in full view of both lounge and bedroom was amazing. I sat and watched the sunset and sunrise from the couch.

Spectacular views!! Literally so close to the beachfront that when you open the doors you can hear the gentle waves lapping on the shore - amazing!! I also arrived about an hour earlier than anticipated but as the room was ready allowed me to check in sooner. The staff were so attentive and helpful with a few of my request which was great!!

The condo was very well appointed with all amenities. Balcony offered spectacular views of the water as well as amazing sunrises and sunsets. Conveniently located one kilometer from the town walking along the beach at low tide. Theo, the owner, provided a gracious welcome sparking wine in hand. We appreciated his assistance while parking our beast of a Ford Ranger! Would definitely return.
