Great place, perfect location
Fantastic location and property. Everything you need in a sounds stay! Thanks heaps for having us. Only downside was the dirty dishes, dirty floor and the filter water just a dribble. But the house is excellent!

Lovely little traditional kiwi bach
Lovely little bach, all good sized bedrooms. We were kept nice and warm with the fire. Kids loved going out on the kayaks round the bay. There were a fair number of spiders webs and the spiders, but hey, it's a bach that sometimes is empty. All in all we really enjoyed our stay

Back to our Happy Place
Having owned a property for 30 years in Moetapu Bay Rd which was recently sold, we were missing our Sounds experience so much that we decided to rent Ngaire's Haven to experience our happy place again. We were not disappointed and loved the close proximity to the ocean with good boat access and swimming. Facilities were great, beds very comfortable and indoor/outdoor living was lovely. We shall return.

Perfect House in the Perfect Location
Amazing 2 night stay with some friends. Beautiful location, even though it poured most of the time. Perfect excuse to stay indoors. Lovely warm house with everything you need. Great kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, lovely fire with plenty of dry fire wood. Lots of games and DVD’s to keep us entertained. Will definitely go back.

Beautiful location
We enjoyed our stay at the property as it’s in a beautiful and a quiet location. The house was well set up for a nice stay. However, we only had a very limited wood supply that was wet/rotten and were not offered a reasonable resolution for heating the living area when contacting the manager. We also felt the fees for the service, linen and cleaning were excessive.
