Week in paradise
We had a fantastic time. The cabin is basic but comfortable. The ocean is a very short walk and we spent a lot of time there. We also hired a hot tub which was delivered to the cabin so we spent the nights looking at the incredible stars.

Lovely cabin
Was a lovely cabin to stay in. So close to the beach and away from the other people. Didn’t have to worry about the dogs making too much noise. Everyone was lovely to deal with. Even let me get a drink and ice cream when they were closing the shop at 6pm. There was a sign in the cabin saying they were open till 8pm might need to update that if the shop closes at 6pm but was a lovely place. Thanks.

A location like no other
What a privilege to spend time in such an unspoilt natural environment yet have complete comfort. Great if like us you love wild NZ but are not campers. The house is warm (good heating) and full of character. Private except for cheeky weka in the garden, sounds of the sea and birds. Magic.

Had all we needed…
Very easy area to play safely with our dog Suki. Great to have hooks to hang things on, bug screens on the windows and a composting bucket, those small things that are often missing. The view from the kitchen and bathrooms are also lovely.

Best place for a wedding!
We had an awesome 4 days at the Beach Cabin along with our 2 dogs. We loved the Bach, the wood floor was great for the dogs, plenty of hot water in the shower and a good gas fired heater. Make sure you hire one of the hot tubs and enjoy the amazing sunsets. We were married on the beach so a pretty special place for us, we will definitely be back!!
