We felt at home from the moment we walked in the door. The house had everything we needed (including little touches like milk) and was close to the beach and Oakura shops. A lovely house in a beautiful spot. We can't wait to go back!

We had a magical family stay at this place. We travelled here to celebrate a granddaughters 1st birthday. We had the Grandparents, Auntie & Uncle & 2 teen cousins, plus dog staying.
The home is awesome, so spacious, sunny & a truly homely feeling. It is so well equipped & supplied - the kitchen is so completely equipped, it was a delight.
Everyone enjoyed their stay & I absolutely recommend to future travellers. Really appreciate also that dogs are allowed.
Impressed to the max. Not a single fault.
Huge thanks to the owner/manager. Regards

Our recent stay at Shelley's house for three days and two nights was an absolute delight. The property exuded warmth and cleanliness, creating a tranquil atmosphere that was perfect for a beachside retreat.
Upon arrival, we were immediately impressed by the inviting ambiance of the house. The spacious layout provided ample room for relaxation, while the pristine cleanliness added to the overall comfort. It was evident that Shelley takes great care in maintaining the property to a high standard.
The proximity to the beach was a major highlight of our stay. Within a short stroll, we were treated to stunning coastal views and the soothing sound of waves crashing. It created a serene environment that allowed us to unwind and embrace the natural beauty of the surroundings.
In terms of convenience, the house's location was ideal. Nearby shops made it easy for us to access any essentials we needed, and the short 13-minute drive to New Plymouth city allowed us to explore the area's attractions without any hassle.
Shelley, our host, was incredibly attentive and accommodating. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction during our stay. Her warm and welcoming nature made us feel like valued guests, and we truly appreciated her hospitality.
In summary, Shelley's house is a perfect choice for a tranquil beach retreat. With its inviting atmosphere, cleanliness, convenient location, and gracious host, our stay was a memorable one.

Well appointed home. Sunny, spacious open plan living and very tidy. Lovely outdoor area. Very close to the beach. We enjoyed our early morning walks before heading to WOMAD. Wish we had more time available to us to enjoy the home environment. The host Shelley was easy to communicate with. We hope to return one day.

We wrote to the Vrbo site stating that as no confirmation had been received we had made other arranegments.
At no stage have we been able to access an Account with the site provider as we are consistently told that our PIN is incorrect and if we try to set up a new account we are told our pin is too weak even when we accept the PIN provided by Vrbo.. Please help us sort this mess out.
We can't send this note without giving a mark to eack of the above questions.

Matariki mid winter weekend
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here. We were a group of 8 and each of us were impressed with this roomy, warm and very comfortable house. I was able to get around in my wheelchair with no obstacles, we cooked up a few memorable meals in the well equipped kitchen and to top it off, our dog had a blast !
