Wonderful beach holiday

We loved staying in this superbly-appointed property which is situated just a minute away from the beautiful (white sand, safe) Ohiwa Beach. Our little Jack Russell dog also had the time of his life being one of the kids — playing kick the can on the lawn and running on the beach.

Peaceful spot in a friendly neighbourhood.

Great to break away from everything and the limited cell coverage and no TV a big plus. Back to basics, loved it 😊

Family Time

We absolutely loved our 3 night stay. Location was perfect for us as we had a family unveiling not too far. The games room made up for no TV and no WIFI and it was so good to have my 4 teenagers off there phones and playing Games/Cards and just enjoying the simple things in life. Jo was an amazing host. We will definitely be back when we are in this beautiful country again.

BEAUTIFUL

Wow - something magic about Bryan's Bay! House was kiwi-style charming, so comfortable and peaceful nestled in bush setting with sea views. Sun-drenched balcony was our favourite chill-spot. No noise apart from bird song and waves crashing. Amazing walk up through regional park was on our doorstep, which we did three times -was so special. THANK YOU.

Great place to stay, just a short walk to the surf beach. Quiet street with lots of birds around in the trees. Not modern but very functional and well presented.

This house was great for our big group of adults from a tramping club - plenty of room and very close to the lovely beach. Well equipped kitchen. Good parking. Nice fire to warm the house as the weather was cold and clear. Plenty of nice walks in the area. A lovely area to visit.
