Very comfortable house in a great location
We loved our stay at the property. The house has everything you need and was very clean and tidy. Peaceful neighborhood at least at this time of the year. Plenty of room for the kids to play in the park next to the house. Tuis visiting the trees of the property everyday was definitely a plus!! Highly recommended!

Beach Bliss: A Perfectly Stocked Retreat
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible beach house, and we couldn't be more impressed. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a sense of warmth and comfort. The house is meticulously maintained and stocked with every amenity imaginable, from a baby's changing mat to decaf coffee. One of the standout features of this property is the attention to detail. Not only is everything impeccably clean and organized, but there are also detailed instructions provided for every appliance and gadget in the house. It's clear that the owners have put a lot of thought and care into making sure their guests have everything they need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The location is also unbeatable. Just a short four-minute drive to the town center, you have easy access to restaurants, shops, and various attractions. Yet, despite its proximity to town, the beach house feels like a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or just looking for a solo getaway, this beach house has something for everyone. I can't recommend it highly enough and can't wait to return for another stay.

As advertised. How-ever there was /is a building site just over the road so we were woken by hammering most mornings. No mention of this prior to arriving and it was not a new building site. Cant believe the owner didn't know. Also, the BBQ was so black and thick with grease we didn't use it.

Enjoyed our break staying at Malcolm’s bach - super good to deal with as I had to change the dates once. Weather wasn’t great but we can’t control that however we were warm and cosy and enjoyed board games and great TV. Handy to everything in Pauanui! Thanks so much!

Good communication, great location, well appointed.
Great spot and would be awesome in summer. Unfortunately for us both heating sources (AC and Heater) were faulty. Being a winter booking we specifically chose a place with a heat pump but upon arrival found it was faulty, and the backup heater failed also, therefore we were very uncomfortable so cut our stay short and went home. Not a great birthday for the Mrs.

Magical Spot
This was the perfect spot to spend the holidays with the family. Bike paths, parks the beach and sand just out the front door. Breakfast on the deck made the perfect start to the day. The kitchen was supplied with quality appliances and untinsals which was a pleasant surprise. Thanks to Malcom and Michelle for sharing their little place in paradise. Mary from Australia
