• Marion (10/5): Great location. Perfect sized unit. - Lovely one bedroom unit with large lounge/ kitchen and patio area. The kitchen was well appointed with a stove top as well as fridge, microwave etc. Location was great, being just a short stroll to the beach and also just across from the Cove restaurant. A shop/ takeaway is also adjacent. We didn't use the pool but it looked nice. Free use of the laundry room was much appreciated. Nothing.

• Isobel (7/5): Handy beach base - Handy for the beautiful beach. Laundry facilities were useful. Bed was comfy. Good shower. Short walk to nice restaurant for dinner and breakfast. This unit worked well as our one-night stop off point heading north. We stayed during very wet weather, which couldn't be helped, but the tiled floors throughout the unit were very wet throughout our short stay and towels and damp coats etc did not dry off inside at all.
• Robert (9/5): Perfect for what we needed. Pleasant staff. Good Parking. Close to beach. - It had everything that you could possibly need for your stay. It was quiet and comfortable. Maybe a carpet in the bedroom rather than just tiles.
• Lowen (10/5): Owner was awesome very friendly and knowledgeable.. - Needed a weekend away from auckland. Was amazing and relaxing just what I needed! Nothing was perfect
• Carolyn (9/5): -
• John (8/5): -

• sharon (10/5): Love this place . Beachside and a pool . No need to use car - walk to fantastic cafe and small local dairy - Perfect location - pool and beach side by side
• Kimberley (9/5): Very comfy bed - Very warm welcome at reception by Michael. The room had everything we needed for the one night. Wifi barely worked which was frustrating when trying to plan onward travel

• Joanna (9/5): Excellent location and lovely studio - Excellent location, very easy check-in and out, friendly staff and the room was very clean
• Kirsten (9/5): Fantastic spot to spend Xmas week. - Fabulous location. Rooms are a good size with additional space on the outside decks. Kitchen well supplied with everything we needed. Fantastic pool complex. Delightful staff and service
• Jennifer (8/5): -
• Angeliquenz (5/5): The amenities were great, location was fantastic. - Location was great. Carpark waas allocated, yet I arrived back late in the rain to find a transpower utility in my park, the owner turned up at the same time and nothing was done. One the last night, I arrived before the transpower ute, there was another ute with a trailer at the back park and the ute took many maneuvers to get in behind me I was just out of the shower at the time so heard it but couldn't go out, it wasn't until I got home I discovered my car had been damaged on the front side panel by his ute, yet they were there in the morning they were starring at me and never told me my car had been damaged, infact as he was walking toward his vehicle I heard from inside the bathroom, the one guy say to the other you arrived too late, so if I had arrived late he would have taken my allocated park again. Also the last night when I arrived home long after office hours, my bathroom towels had been taken but not replaced, luckily there were beach towels in the wardrobe I was able to use in the morning. Large commercial vehicles should not be allowed to park onsite, maybe in the area out back that customers weren't allowed to park in. Given my vehicle was left damaged, and the issue on the last night, I doubt I would return.

• Laura (10/5): Lovely little family getaway on the beach. - We were able to check in (by request) at 12.30. The unit was exceptionally clean and tidy and homely with everything we needed for cooking. Loved the sliding doors out to the pool/spa. They manage the spa in the evenings (after 7pm) with a booking system which is a great idea. Rachel who checked us in/out was so lovely and friendly and welcoming. No trouble with noise.

• David (8/5): Great location - Close to the beach, and a great restaurant . (The Cove). Staff were fantastic and everything in the unit was clean and smelt beautiful The unit was like a cell, with high windows above the kitchen cupboards on one side, and a public path outside the ranch sliders on the other. Claustrophobic when the curtains were drawn. The couch was very uncomfortable. Booking on line costs 50% more, with 'extra' charges. 😒
