Summary: An excellent house for all the family to stay. Location is ideal - a quick walk to the estuary and shop. Nice quiet area. The fire makes the house cosy (and hot) on the cooler nights. This will be first choice whenever the entire family stay at Whanga.

Summary: We were disappointed with the property, particularly the downstairs bathrooms and lack of maintenance. There was a broken chair on the deck and a broken blind in the dining area. When we arrived the cleaning hadn’t been done and piles of laundry were outside the bedrooms

Summary: The property was the perfect beach break for our large family group. Located across the road from the Estuary reserve and the surf beach at the end of the road (or accessed by walking along the beautiful estuary walkway.
