Absolutly stunning!
We had such a reat time here. 40th get away with my partner. Fishing was amazing, views very distracting, amazing wildlife, fire to keep us warm at night. Sky TV when and if u pull urself away from views. Bed was super comfy, fully set up for a long stay. I highly recommend if ur truly into an east coast fishing an adventure/beachfront relaxing environment. Money well spent.

Spectacular!
This property was perfect for a long weekend away. It is private and the views are absolutely spectacular. Everything we needed was provided and the house is well set-up. The place was very clean and tidy and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed our stay here a lot and will definitely be back!

The view is stellar
Walk into the home and you're captured by the ocean vista. Sit down on the patio and you calculate how you can buy the property next door. House was clean, beds very comfortable and location quiet and private. The short Tapeka Track is right outside the door and takes you to another stunning vista. Highly recommended.

Exceeded expectations
Breathtaking ocean view, lovely home, well furnished, excellent communication with the property manager, easy check-in. This was the most beautiful and luxurious accommodation we booked during our month in New Zealand. Had we known how great it would be, we'd have booked it for longer. Would definitely go back!!!

Beautiful one day, perfect the next.
The location is perfect and the house was perfect for our group of 3 couples. The view is to die for - we even saw orcas passing one day. We enjoyed swimming at Tapeka Point every day. The house was perfectly equipped for when we wanted to stay in and close to everything when we wanted to go out. We would all go back in a flash given a chance.
