Holden Beach accommodation from NZ$1,842

Great house for our 4 families and the host was wonderful. Lots of extras for our 3 little ones and loved having our own bathrooms with each bedroom. The dining room table was beautiful and all 11 of us enjoyed breakfast and dinners there. The high chair and pack n play was a bonus, especially since we flew and were limited on space. The extra beach chairs and umbrella really came in handy and the pool (whole back yard) was awesome. Some things could have used some attention (shower curtains and the air vents in particular) but overall would love to stay here again.

Great little place on the beachfront! It has lots of charm and character. It's one of the older houses in Holden, which we preferred. If you're not expecting luxury finishes/fixtures, you can score a great deal on this property. It's obvious from the listing, that you don't have an ocean view, because it's not built on stilts (so book elsewhere if that's going to affect your trip). You can clearly hear the ocean, and we could see slivers of it over the dunes, just standing on the back patio. It is a small place, which we loved, so we didn't have to rent a 4 bedroom place for just the two of us. We also loved that we could bring our dog along without outrageous pet fees added on. My only unmet (and very minor) expectation, was that we couldn't use the gate to the beach, or the back patio stairs. Both are grown over with vegetation that will scratch you in the face and catch your clothing. We could easily step over the fence to get around this, but it seems an easy fix to just cut some of the branches away. Otherwise, the beach access was super close and convenient, and besides the occassional car doors or people talking, it was relatively quiet at this public access point. We did see occassional police monitoring the area, even at night. This East end of Holden Beach is so much easier to get in and out of than the West end. AC was nice and cool inside, and the outdoor shower was so nice to rinse off all the beach sand! We hope to return soon!

Great property and wonderful location! The pool is lovely! Lots of games, toys and puzzles for the little ones. Plenty of room for a large family. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you might need. Great communication with the host!
