The outside deck is excellent and the back garden very good. The inside of the house is too cluttered with ornaments, decorations, furnishings, etc. and needs pairing down. It looks like an op-shop and smells very musty. The house is a close walk to the beach, river, shop, bus stop, and cafes.

A rockabilly beach-house dream

We really enjoyed our stay here in Otaki, close to the beach, great communication from the host and what a treat if you're into 50s - 60s vibe. Truly a lot of love has gone into this place.

Quirky beach bach

For a couple in their 70s/80s it was a journey back. The decor was quirky & familiar. The back verandah was a gem catching all day sun. The perfect place for a glass of wine. Amenities were perfectly adequate & spotlessly clean. I’d hate to have to do the dusting though. Chitra checked in to make sure everything was ok - a good communicator.

Perfect summer break at the beach!

Peaceful, relaxing bach close to the beach. The back covered deck area is a perfect spot to read and even in the rain provided some nice shelter. Great record collection, books and magazines. Friendly host who made the whole experience an enjoyable one.

Relaxing Outdoors

The back deck and garden were fabulous to sit and relax, the bach had lots of interesting books and records to enjoy and the beach and estuary were a short walk away. I highly recommend this bach for an easy get-away

Great Stay

Great place to stay and location was perfect. One thing to take note of is there is no TV reception. We didn’t realise until the owner sent the paperwork a couple of days before we came over. Lots of DVDs however. It didn’t bother us at all but might do for someone with children. Other than that nice place, thank you.

Such a pleasant host!

We loved how clean the cottage was. There was a problem with a window and it was fixed immediately, which was awesome! My partner loved the 'kiwi feel' however, I felt it was cluttered unnecessarily with too much furnture. We're average sized people, and used to a bigger bed, so we found the "double " beds too small. Also, we went home again, to get our own BBQ, as the house is open plan, with no extractor fan, and the food smell the first night went through the house. The BBQ there, is really only a small metal bowl with a wire grill, and needs charcoal, which we didn't find. We were there a week, and it would have been good to not have to dispose of our rubbish ourselves. However, it was unusually cold, and the fire place was awesome and plenty of wood was supplied. The shower is good too. The outside area is great! A large back yard and big deck. The house is a 5 minute walk from the ocean beach, which was great! The owner is lovely and easy to work with. Thank you!

We had fun looking at all the quirky memorabilia, much of it sparking memories of our childhood and grandparents' homes, even if it was a bit of sensory overload! House was generally clean, and beach a short walk away.Check-in and out was simple; owner was easily contactable when we initially had a bit of difficulty connecting to the WiFi.
