    Lovely house and hosts - the place was cozy and comfortable, and in a perfect beach spot

    Nothing.

    It was quirky and fun (decor and layout). Cozy and comfortable, with a nice vibe. Easy walk to lovely beach. Quiet area. Host left cupcakes and was easy to get keys. Would definitely stay again!

    The unit is tidy and modern but needs a deep clean. There was a T-shirt and a block of cheese under the bed! 😃

    It is great. Good location. Nice unit with a beachy theme. Well equipped. Lots of beds. Complimentary muffins. Will definitely stay again.

    Our stay in Stanmore Bay was absolutely wonderful! The location was perfect – just a short walk to the beach, where we enjoyed collecting shells and exploring the rock pools. The accommodation was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kids loved the nearby playground, and we all appreciated the peaceful surroundings. Highly recommend for a relaxing and family-friendly getaway!

    Bedrooms on the small side. Little room for luggage in dbl bedroom. Lighting inadequate in same room - no switch by door. Door drags on carpet. Position of tv makes group viewing difficult.

    Great quiet location. Plenty of outside space. Friendly neighbours. Yummy muffins provided on arrival. Great patio area with wonderful wet weather shelter.

    Modern, fresh and stylish Kiwi bach

    Great little property, beautifully renovated with modern, fresh and stylish decor and amenities, whilst retaining that quintessential kiwi bach feel. We stayed over Xmas whilst visiting family and our hosts left christmas treats and even put up a little xmas tree in the lounge, which was a nice touch. The weather wasn't great so didn't get to enjoy outdoor area to it's fullest, but I imagine it would be a wonderful place for a small family to spend a summer beach break.

    Only one minor thing. Only 1 pot but 2 frying pans. We worked around it but thats all we didn't like. Would still totally recommend.

    Location is the best. Easy walk to the beach not far from the shops. So easy and central for exploring the Whangaparoa Peninsula. Very clean and tidy - one of the cleanest we have seen. Cosy unit - shame the weather was terrible so we never got to enjoy the deck. Lovely note and carrot cake from the host - made us feel very welcomed.
