We really appreciated the little details Paul has looked after to set this up so well. The location is great with a short walk to an empty sandy beach which goes for miles. So nice to wake up to views of whale and white islands

Was a lovely little place in the perfect spot to relax. Close enough to town for what we needed, but far enough out that we could enjoy the beach and relax. Our little dog loved his run around too. Can't wait to be back again.

We initially booked to stay 6 nights and then changed it to 8 nights because the views from this place are outstanding! It is 2 min walk to the beach and a short drive to town. Paul, the landlord, is an awesome guy who would go out of his way to make our stay more enjoyable. Our dogs absolutely loved the big garden and the walks on the beach. We would go back to this place with no hesitation.

This property has an amazing location with close beach access and walks. The view from the deck was so pretty and even in winter we were out there during the day with a glass of wine. The property is fully fenced so dog friendly. The cottage was super tidy and well maintained. There was also well stocked kitchen which was great to walk into.Paul the owner stayed in his shed behind the cottage during our stay and was very respectful of our privacy. He is friendly and easy to deal with. We would highly reccomend this place for a visit.

I can’t recommend this lovely cottage enough - either as a singles or couple retreat - but especially for those who love to take their dogs with them & have difficulty finding anywhere! It was just fantastic & would be even more wonderful in fine weather! Paul was so easy to communicate with, friendly & accommodating. Most definitely recommend & we’ll be coming back, for sure :)

Paul Speedy is a great host, friendly but discrete. When not using the cottage he is staying in the facility behind (out of sight and mind). The cottage facilities are very clean and homely in the limited space available (bedroom plus living/kitchen area). 5 minutes walk to an open beach and only a few minutes drive to Ohope. Great views to Motuora and White Islands. Between the cottage and the beach there is subdivision with houses being built.

Thank you Paul for allowing us to stay. Also appreciated is how prompt your communication has been. A wonderful cottage to stay in and it was lovely to see the scenic view. As for your bed.. wow! I think with all the holiday home stays we have done, both here in NZ and overseas, your bed was the most comfortable thank you. And being able to bring our wee furball with us was the icing on the cake. Many thanks and cheers Irene and George

Paul's property was just gorgeous. A classic kiwi bach with stunning views of Moutohora Whale Island, an out-of-this-world comfortable bed, and a genuinely dog-friendly property. There's a beautiful beach nearby, the local river it's a great base to explpore not only Whakatane but also Papamoa, Tauranga and Te Urewera. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!

Fantastic stay. Wonderful views.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The Bach was small and cosy, yet had everything I needed. I particularly enjoyed the unexpected mod cons such as sky tv, a chrome cast and heated towel rail! Kitchen is very well stocked and the bed was very comfortable. But the best part was the location. The view was spectacular of the ocean and the island. Minutes walk to the beach, couldn’t ask for more. Thanks so much :)
