Easter at Grahams Beach
Great location, very good lounge area and deck space. Bedroom information a bit confusing. It does sleep 16 but if all adults, and not all related, the configuration has to be carefully considered, so not quite enough space for that number.

Perfect Getaway
Comfortable and beautiful view! Our family of eight came to explore NZ, and this was the perfect start to our vacation. More than enough room to spread out, and an incredible view. The beach access was a highlight. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Grahams Beach
Spacious and very well appointed. A lovely peaceful spot with everything we needed for a relaxing few days. Very comfortable beds and comfy sofas in the two lounge areas.We enjoyed the view and loved getting to know the 3 cows in the nearby fenced-off paddocks. We can thoroughly recommend this property.

Home away from home
Kim, your house is like home away from home. We have been coming to the house since the last 15 odd years and each time we add on more to our bundle of beautiful memories. This house is like a goto staycation where we like to come with friends and enjoy a relaxing holiday. It was lovely to see the changes you have made. Thanks once again for letting out this beautiful house 💞
