Perfection

The location could not be better, the beach across the road, bush walks close by, shops nearby, facilities at the property were amazing - kitchen utensils and equipment were fantastic! So much space and so peaceful!

Great for a babymoon!

My husband and I booked this property for our babymoon so it was just the two of us. We loved the size of the property and can see how it would be great for a larger group or family. We particularly loved the quiet location. We could travel not too far for lovely walks and did a day trip to Paihia but coming home was always a breath of fresh air. Our property manager was helpful and diligent.

Great escape!

Wonderful beachfront property! Loved everything. Two bedrooms upstairs and one bedroom and a bunkhouse downstairs. Excellent kitchen equipment and loved the wooden gate for the top of the stairs. The heaters in the downstairs rooms were nice too for chilly nights.

What a special place!

We had an amazing Easter break at Sandy Bay, the house is ideal for a group with 2 entirely separate areas, and all amenities included. We surfed and swam every day. The location is 10/10 being directly opposite the beach - you can hear the waves crashing at night and the view is magnificent. It is quiet, private and roomy. We would love to return soon. Nat is a very responsive and organised host - thanks Nat.

Amazing location right on the beach, good setup for 2 families as 2 kitchen and dining areas. An older bach but has everything you need, beds and linen were perfect! Lots of mosquitos so take some plugins especially for bunk room!

Awesome spot to enjoy Northland beaches

We loved the property. Overlooking Sandy Beach was a beautiful way to start and end the day. Matapouri Bay is close by as is Tutukaka for a great meal at local restaurants. Couldn't recommend this more.

You get what you pay for

More than we would usually spend on a bach but you get what you pay for. Excellent location in the most beautiful bay. Log fire was wonderful. Well appointed, very spacious and clean bach. We had a wonderful stay, thank you.

Beach holiday

This bach is fantastic for families, with a fully equipped kitchen and barbecue it is easy to cook for everybody. Watching the kids surfing straight from our balcony with a coffee in hand… There is a heater in the lounge and downstairs bedroom to keep you cozy in the chilly mornings. The bed in the master bedroom is king size and has a very comfy mattress. There are great bike rides and walks to do in the area. Thank you for the perfect stay :-) We love to come back in the future

Great property, perfect location just across the street from the beach. Accommodated two families with teenagers really well. Nothing better than sitting on the balcony and watching the ocean with a coffee or a wine. Highly recommend.

A holiday with Big Brother.

An Axis P5624-E PTZ 360 degree Network camera overlooks the upstairs kitchen, living room, main bedroom and verandah as well as the front yard and driveway. No curtains to pull to avoid its gaze. No mention of this security camera in the listing. If there had been we would never have stayed here. Being under constant surveillance was very unsettling and a terrible invasion of our privacy. So our stay in this beautiful location was spoilt. The house itself was fine. Clean, tidy and everything was functional. The view to the beach amazing and the constant stream of surfers coming and going disappears after dark.

Magic Spot - Great for 2 families!

We thoroughly enjoyed out stay - the house is really well set out for 2 families, adults upstairs and kids downstairs - in saying that the single beds upstairs were terrible so we relocated downstairs to spare room (those beds were great!). The bunkroom downstairs was awesome for the kids, gave us all lots of space! The location is 5 star, the beach beautiful and turned on the surf for our stay so the dads and kids super happy. House really well equipped with everything you might need, especially kitchen - so much of everything! We will definately be back! Thanks!

Best location. Just across from the beach. To sit on the deck and look out over the sea was a very relaxing day to spend the weekend.
