A weekend for two in this amazing bach. Photos were true to form. The online listing was honest and thorough. Very homely vibe and we loved the artwork. Everything we needed was availble and written in their welcome folder if we needed further detail. John was a great host and was available if we needed anything. Another great weekend spent at Aotea Harbour. We will definitely be returning to this property soon. Do not pass up an amazing opportunity to stay here. Thank you John

Very beautiful and well maintained bach with an amazing & calming view. Situated in a quiet town across the road from the water. Ensure you purchase everything you need before arriving as the nearest store is abit of a drive back up. This definitely is the best deck in Aotea. Well equiped home with everything from basic necessities to extras that we needed for our stay . Beds were very comfortable. Sound system & big screen tv was perfect for the movie nights. Now the Rain shower head , bathroom automatic night light and the bidet - WOW! Perfect touches! Enjoyed relaxing on the deck with a cocktail & book while watching the husband fish across the road. Unfortunately he didn’t catch anything but surely the fish in Aotea are now well fed from all the bait he used. Managed to recharge the mind body and soul before heading back to the rat race. We definitely wished we could’ve stayed longer. Highly recommend. Great place to relax and recharge ! Thank you very much John & Kirsty for sharing your slice of heaven with us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Aotea. It was somewhere I had never been to before, but will certainly go to again. The property was excellent, clean, tidy and had a great view of the beach. Thank you Kirsty for sharing your home with us. We found the neighbour's to be equally friendly.

The property was once the land of many tupuna who once walked back in time, and shared history with our host so we appreciated the learning knowledge of the area.....so recommend his property to others who want a place to relax rest, and just take it all in. Awesome hosts John & Kirsty nice to have met you guys nga mihi....

Loved our 7 day holiday. The house has everything we needed. Wonderful hosts. Great views of the ever changing tides. OK fishing...for some! 😉 Extremely quiet and safe. The only thing I would change, is to have a toilet in the downstairs bedroom, as there is no internal to upstairs.

My family and I stayed here for 2 nights over the school holidays. The house was spotless, we had everything we needed and owner John was super friendly and went out of his way to make sure our stay was a memorable one for us and the kids. A great place to fish and spend quality family time. Thank you SO much!!!

I could have stayed forever - this place was amazing. The view, the property, the town, I had an awesome time here and I can't wait to be back. The host had excellent communication, he made things easy and was very welcoming. I couldn't rate this place highly enough. As mentioned I'll definitely be back with my family - see you soon!

We loved staying in Aotea. Was a new area for us and the house and the spot it is in, did not disappoint!! The house was perfect for our needs and the view amazing. The deck on the front was perfect with it's lovely vantage point. The house was as described, everything was clean and tidy and had everything we needed.

Feb 2022

We ended up not staying as when we arrived the place was not to the standard we had imagined based on the photos we saw and we feel as though the cat staying in/around the house (one of our friends is really allergic) wasn’t made clear enough on the listing itself prior to booking (it was only made more explicit when we got our information pack a few days before arrival at which point we couldn’t apply for a refund). May be a great getaway for some but it wasn’t what we had expected personally from the initial listing.

So good to be in a tranquil space out of the city. Relaxed environment with space outside and by the water to do what you want. Excellent hosts, John and Kirsty and can't leave out Marley the cat.

A stunning location and home! Everything you could think of was there - in the home and outside! Quiet, isolated, warm, beautiful, old school community, modern facilities, awesome bird song, sound of the water, great walks, spiritual place with Maori significance- loved it!!!

5 siblings revisited an old holiday home. It is on a magic site, while the building is old it is very well set up with every thing you could need, great shower, good beds. Would have loved to stay longer so we will be revisiting in the near future.
