On website it gave the impression that it looked out over the sea but ours was at the back and had no sea view

Very fine Ocean view and direct access to the coast. A super location for Walking and relaxing.

Clean, comfortable lovely apartment with everything you need. Slept with the sound of the ocean. Five minute drive from the waterfront eateries.

The view of the ocean.

The views from the rooms

Great Location, really lovely hosts, beach access.

Needed a better oven.

We stayed in the Pacifica Room and loved how the lounge was separate from the bedroom. Clean, tidy and awesome with added utensils in the kitchen - everything you need! I loved the milk froth maker and pod coffee machine - such a treat! Big TV with Netflix and good sized fridge/freezer. Plenty of towels. Absolutely loved the spa and private beach access straight out the front door to steps. Bed was comfortable with extra pillows and blankets if needed. We could hear the kiwis and even went searching for them with our hosts.

It's hard to pick any faults - the only thing I may of found difficult was if we had a noisy neighbor in the other attached small self contained room next door (Pohutakawa Room). But we had no-one next door during our 3 night stay. We definitely want to come back!

good location

internet was too slow footsteps from upstairs is disturbing cups were stained looks dirty

we’ll set up. immaculate and private. a lovely place to stay. the jacuzzi over the ocean was lovely

beds were ok but not great

Loved the location with a very clean apartment including all the modern coms! We were very happy to have the property to ourselves and not having to share the outdoor facilities. Many thanks to the very friendly new owners!

great location with seaviews and access to the beach (tiny pebbles, yay! no sand will get stuck on you!). super easy to find and offers parking. kayaks available to use and also a spa pool. super clean room (booked the 1 bedroom apartment) with a kitchenette incl. everything you need. great bathroom with huge walk-in shower. walking track to a viewpoint nearby. sunrise views.

not great for cell service (esp spark) so if you need to make dinner reservations / need a shuttle or anything plan ahead or while you’re in town. but it’s a great way to shut off and put the phone away! :)

Fab location, great facilities, close to everything, friendly host Dave!

Internet not good

The greatest asset of Kokomo retreat is its location. Our room's door opened to a stunning view of the bay. The beach was at our doorstep. The room was exceptionally well maintained. We had eveything we needed. The cookie time cookies definitely are a nice touch! There are spa and kayaking facilities on-site.

Nothing that we didnt like. We will definitely return when we get a chance to

The ocean views were amazing and we loved the access to the beach via the public path. We enjoyed the hot tub and its location. There was everything we needed in the flat and it was clean and tidy.

We didn't like the proximity to the other accommodation unit. The hosts live in the house above and we found that noise was a problem especially the early morning showers and walking around . The unit wasn't ready for us to move into on our arrival.

Awesome location, close enough to everything but a nice and peaceful location. Walk out the door and the ocean is right there in front of you. Dave is a great host!

Nothing

Everything was great and as it was advertised. Would use again. Clean; all amenities you needed.

We went for a quiet few days at Russell on Kokomo retreat was great . I loved sitting in the spa looking at the view

Needed morning sun we were at the wrong end

Location was nice with pleasant view of the water.

We were disappointed with the level of cleanliness in the bathroom. There was dark hair on the floor behind the door and when the lid of the toilet seat was down, there was grime behind the seat. We didn't hear from or see the hosts the whole time we were there so couldn't address the issue directly. Nothing was topped up (i.e. teabags, coffee pods, milk) which I would have expected from a 2 night stay. There was also only indoor chair for 2 people so the other person had to sit on the bed.

Hosts were fantastic, as were the facilities. Perfectly suited what we were looking for.

Wifi was pretty much non existent, no fault of the owners as wifi was freely available, its just the location. On the positive side, it did mean we had to switch off.

Clean and tidy. Two bedrooms for two couples. Spacious living area.

Location too remote. No sea view. Only one bathroom.
