Classic kiwi Bach. We were able to bring our dogs which slept outside, was nice to be able to take them with us. The Bach was clean and tidy and very close to the beach. Would recommend it for anyone considering a stay at Whangamata.

When we walked into this corner unit and saw the Pacific ocean, marina and lagoon, it was just as breathtaking as the photos! We loved the location as we were right at the beginning of Waikki but away from the crowds. We enjoyed all the Hilton village had to offer a few steps away, then retreated to our little bit of paradise. The property mamnager promptly responded to all requests. The condo is well stocked and has a spacious living area, bedroom and bathroom. Enjoy!

House is sunny and warm, everything is super cool 70s themed ! Bring your own linen and towels etc but everything else was provided. Short walk to the beach (little bit longer to town) with plenty of parking and beds. Good cell service too

Great spot - 4star cleanliness just related to age of property, whole property is age appropriate with some newer items like fridge which is great, newer beds / matresses would be good - we got driven out early by the rain, owner has offered a discounted future stay to make up for it which is appreciated

Classic old school bach. Bit of a time-warp but the kids and I had a cool time. Walking distance to beach and parks. Easy communication with host. We’d happily come back.

This retro bach reminded me of staying with my snuggly Nana but with wifi! A quick bike ride to the beach, comfy beds, close to shops and enough space for us all. Thank you!

This was a perfect spot for an "Aunties and Cuzzies" get away. Close to the beach, plenty of space for teenagers to spread out, and accomodating of one very small dog (which we tethered with a rope as there is no fence). We were lucky with the weather, so didn't need the indoor space - but it would have been handy if we'd had rainy days. The seperate toilet / shower was helpful with our group situation.
Unfortunately, we were woken early by the tradies working on a neighbouring property who seemed oblivious that we were sleeping / might not have shared their taste in music! But I'm sure this will be over now.
Otherwise, a very peaceful spot.
David was great at getting back to us quickly with any changes/requests.

We loved the location and experience of sitting in the lounge looking out while reading and relaxing. Kids were grateful for wifi with the bad weather. We would love to come back over the summer months.

We loved this bach and felt very comfortable here - all 6 of us! Plenty of space and close to the beach which was super convenient. Heaters provided kept us warm at night, and we loved the retro feel. Highly recommend ++++

Accurately described in the ad, great traditional bach with plenty of space and a cupboard filled with board games (we were confined indoors due to rain for a day and there was plenty non-screen activities to keep us busy). Good communicator and very flexible. Would stay again.

Excellent real kiwi bach, big enough for two families, had everything we needed and more. This house was very cool inside during the summer, we did not even use the fan we brought down. Loved the deck to sit ouside under the shade, and very close to the beach.
