Cozy Waitara

Kia Ora we had a good stay in your bach. Had everything we needed for the 2 of us. Having some kindling and firewood ready by the fireplace would have been a bonus, however having a heater available did the job. Nga Mihi

Lovely cosy family home

This bach was a lovely small home that had everything we needed. Family/kid friendly and communication with the owner was easy, fast and very kind. Beach and playground was close by with a supermarket and some yum takeaways within 5 mins drive or New Plymouth town 15 mins away. We didn’t venture out much this stay as had other plans but very grateful for a warm, cosy place to stay with everything we needed. Thank you!

Perfect long weekend getaway

We had a lovely stay at Serene near the sea. The place was cosy and just the right size for our family of four. The host was awesome. Replied to messages promptly and gave suggestions on playgrounds and beach access nearby.
