Amazing holiday home, with beautiful views of the water. So much grass out the front for the kids to play and a very short walk to a playground, as well as walking along the estuary to the beach. House has everything you need with so much space, and was so clean and tidy, was lovely to walk in to. Kayaks were an added bonus, were excellent condition and was so much fun to paddle out from the house. Garage was great for storage for our bikes and prams too. Thank you so much for such a wonderful house, we will definitely be back!

its been our tradition to come to Cooks beach every Waitangi weekend in last 5 years. And honestly, this house is the best among houses we rented. it has everything we needed and pleanty of pleasant extras. House feels new, very clean and tidy. we had 10ppl group and had pleanty of space. Location is superb - beautiful scenery, quite and peaceful. big lawn for kids to run around and play sports.
Kayaks were included in our stay and it was so easy and simple just take it across the lawn to the water and take an amazing trip down the stream, explore mangroves, watch fish and just enjoy the summer. all life jackets for kids and adults provided. heaps of different sport and board games for all ages.
house has spacious floorplan, very comfy beds, bedrooms have good soundproofing, not that much noise when kids are in the living room. Tv room have a door and is separated from the living space.
Not much shade outside in the morning, but afternoons were just a pure pleasure
we will definitely be back!

This was our second time staying at this property. It is a great house for families and the estuary lends itself well to children during both high and low tides. We did feel however that the quantity of kitchen and laundry powders, toilet paper, lack of tea towels and hand towels was not reflected in the nightly price. There was nothing to clean up spills with, other than our own towels, and we had to buy extra supplies to see us through our 7 nights as we were only given enough for 2 - 3 days. Not great considering the price you pay. The stretchers that were pictured were not at the Bach on arrival so we had to come up with another plan. Other than that it was good, but not as great as the last time we stayed.

Lovely, modern and spacious house. Perfect location to enjoy the Estuary and walk to beach. Also very handy to Mercury Ridge, our wedding venue. Big open sliding doors in living area to help with the particularly hots days while we were there. ( it was very hot.) Fans also provided in each room to help with the very warm evening temperature.
Cooks beach a great location to get away.

This place is the perfect getaway. We felt the pictures did not do the property justice, the home and location was gorgeous.
An added bonus was the use of the kayaks and paddle board. We brought our dog Malcolm who loved the swimming, and the green space.
The house was clean and today, well-equipped, and communication with Tracey was easy.
We certainly recommend this as a family stay, a lot of rooms, and comfy beds.

I was pregnant for a long nine months and throughout my pregnancy I looked forward to the summer so that I could get away from being pregnant and postpartum blues. We saw this listing on Bookabach and it captured me instantly. The location is perfect with the water at your doorfront and such a lovely and quiet little neighbourhood. The house was perfectly spacious and even though we encountered rainy days the house supplied us with enough inside activities to do. It was a beautiful getaway for us away from the bustling noises of Auckland city and we for sure will be back. The communication of the owners were excellent, we had some hiccups with checkih as well as working the tv on our arrival but they were only a text message and phone call away. They pointed me in the right direction and we sorted it out in no time. The only downside for me personally on this trip was that you had to come prepared. Countdown/New world/Warehouse are 35 minutes drive away. They do have a local dairy in Cooks beach but they don’t have everything so that was the only teeny downside although we didn’t mind the drive to and back but after travelling along time it would suck to forget something at home and drive all the way to shopping. The house came with everything you needed but if there’s something specific you need just bring it in case you have to travel all the way to purchase it. Apart from that I have nothing bad to say about this house and plan on returning again in the near future !

peaceful location, lovely outlook over the estuary
Great property and location for a family. Could have been a bit cleaner (there was debris under the sofas that hadn't been cleaned). Beds were really comfortable. I know it is winter, but it was quite a cold property. It would have been good to have heaters that could heat the main living space.

Easter Holidays family reunion
We booked this property whilst my sister and her kids were visiting us from the UK. A wonderful property to stay at for our family Easter gathering. The property was clean and had everything we needed. So great that the kids could easily access the estuary and take kayaks and paddle board out. Tracey promptly replied to my query about bringing our dogs. I would absolutely recommend this property

Estuary escape
Location to estuary and water front closer than photos give credit. Wonderfully accessible for those who are hindered by steps as one step out to lawn and estuary. Fantastic for relaxing, night sky watching and enjoying an active estuary. Plenty of space for family to enjoy, open kitchen living. A very warm house without the need for heating, as newer and well insulated.
Of course has to be said, fantastic bach is pet friendly, old dogs thought it was the best thing since don’t know what.
