My sister and I loved our stay at Beachfront Beauty. The view from the house was amazing, the beds were so comfortable and we had everything we needed. Our host Vicki was so warm, friendly and attentive to our needs. Highly recommended.
Amazing place for a holiday or even a weekend away like me and my partner booked it for
The property is stunning and right on the beach ! The owners make sure you get a great car park out front and the area aside from the beautiful beach has a bunch of scenic walks. There is food places and shops within a 5 minute drive
The stay came with every amenity you would ever need and more ! Everything from plates, cutlery, champagne flutes and cleaning products to water sports equipment.
The room was super comfy and has a lot of natural light
10/10 Would and will be staying again
Thanks so much for a great weekend

A paradise by the sea
We were very well received by the friendly and cheerful Vicki, who left some food for the arrival of our long journey. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. In addiction to the beach days, we saw the most beautiful moon of NZ rising over the sea above the cliff. All of this in front our balcony. 20 perfect days in an unforgettable location.
