Weekend beach side retreat
Welcoming, warm property well equipped for our visit. Comfy beds and couches. Enjoyed the wine and chocs. Quick response from hosts with any questions. However found the Vrbo site very clunky to use when we were communicating with our hosts.

Amazing weekend getaway
We loved our stay at Raumati beach. The property was perfect and loved the little gift left for us. So much beautiful sun in the lounge and right next to the beach with beautiful sunsets. Kitchen was well equipped and appreciated the heating for colder nights. We will definitely be back 😊

Great location and spacious enough for everyone to have their space. This is the third time we have stayed - 3 generations of our family. Loved sitting on the deck and walks to the beach. A very comfortable home.

Sun Trap by the beach
This property is clean and comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and furniture. Thank you to hosts Karen and Bill for welcome gift and card - a nice gesture. It really is a sun trap in the afternoon as the name suggests. Just a short walk to the beach. Plenty of restaurants at beach shopping area. I would happily recommend this property to others and would use again if I was going down there.

A lovely getaway!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Raumati Beach Retreat. The bach had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, clean and well-equipped. A fabulous location and swimming in the sea was great! Communication from the owners was excellent. We hope to be back one day!

A Great Weekend
I was so pleased with your house, it fitted us perfectly, clean, well equipped and spacious. My family enjoyed your complimentary coffee thank you. Loved the location too, close enough to everything, especially the beach. It was a pleasure to be able to wander over there for swims and constructions on the shore. Thank you, we had a special holiday we will all remember and I will recommend to others.

Great stay
Had a lovely stay at this property with my two kids - each having their own room was a bonus, couldn't fault the property or the communication with the owners either.
