So close to a fabulous beach

What a fabulous beach with access along a dune walkway from the driveway - right opposite Whale/Moutohora Island. Lee-Anne’s studio was spotless, with a very comfortable bed and great shower. Perfect for our dog too with its small fenced garden. The photos don’t do it justice.

Long weekend

My partner, me and our two dogs had a lovely weekend up here. Beautiful place to stay at lovely fenced area for your dogs. Beach so close. Was supper easy to communicate with the property manager and got a very fast response for a question I had. Would definitely recommend to stay there to anyone who is travelling to Whakatāne.

Perfect haven

A wonderful peaceful haven for my partner and myself plus our cavoodle Molly to unwind , fish , walk along the beach, relax , and just be. A very short walk to the beach , a beautifully presented unit with everything you need for cooking if you want to. Leanne and Gary were attentive and wonderful hosts and the neighbours all very friendly. We will return. Highly recommend. Can’t fault our stay. Excellent value for money also.

Great dog friendly place.

The weather was bad but we were still able to take the dogs for a walk on the beach. The accommodation was very clean and tidy and has a great location by the beach. The hosts are friendly and helpful and I recommend this accommodation.

Overnight spot close to beach for a walk

Clean, modern with friendly owners and dog! Private own courtyard area and BBQ/kitchen for putting together a meal. A great overnight spot for on our way through to East Cape. The Beach is just through a walkway next to property.

So disappointed, we didn't even stay longer than two hours due to the strong dog smell in the room, the parking was terrible trailer parked across where we were supposed to park and wooden planks down the side, very unwelcoming for a paying guest, felt like we were intruding on owners space, Was not even offered a refund when I spoke with the owner! after advising them of the smell in the room. We had to stay at a Motel which added extra costs to our holiday. Would not recommend staying here.

Beautiful Location

Our stay was great. The accommodations were lovely. Very clean and tidy. Friendly Host. Beautiful upscale quiet neighborhood. Literally a minute's walk from the beach. 8 min drive to shops and restaurants in town centre. All facilities for cooking your own meals if you wanted to. We had breakfast daily on site, had lunch and dinner in town. All up, a really comfortable relaxing stay.

Great pet friendly studio right by the beach

Excellent studio by the beach. Very clean and tidy. Can hear the waves crashing onto the beach - very relaxing. If you’re looking for a pet friendly bach in a great location, I would definitely recommend this place. Hosts were very hospitable.

Comfortable dog-friendly retreat by the sea

A very clean, quiet and comfortable unit in an excellent location. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog and walk her along the beach. Despite a very stormy weather event we were able to retreat to the comfort of the house. Highly recommended.
