Host was welcoming, but felt carpet was musty and found previous guest had placed dirty silverware back in the drawer. Otherwise all was comfortable and enjoyable. View was spectacular and a very short yet energetic walk to local facilities. The family enjoyed the stay.

The home is well appointed, roomy, has everything you need. Good seating/couches, 2 sets of dining tables. Nice view looking Eastwards. Pet friendly. Good parking. 5 Adults stayed, we used both levels. The internal stairs are a bit challenging/different but we navigated them without issue. The decor is a bit outdated but suited us fine, its a solid, warm home. Nice big kitchen too, with a full size pantry & fridge. We'd stay again.

Hilltop getaway

2 families stayed for the New Year period. We chose this property as it was pet friendly. The description was perfectly accurate. Our stay was more than comfortable. The house is high on a hill, but we managed fine with the boat. The neighbours are all very lovely.

Very spacious house in lovely coastal location

The house is exactly as described. Shelly communicated well and gave us good instructions. Access was easy. We chose here to explore Tutukaka coastline and went on fabulous snorkelling trip from there. Unfortunately we were there for Cyclone Gabriel but the neighbours were a fantastic help. We were safe in the house.

Family Get Together

Nice clean and tidy property with plenty of room for teenagers and adults. Lovely, helpful neighbours too. Holiday Manager was great. We had a couple of last minute extras to add on to our stay and she was very accommodating. Thank you. Only issue we had was finding the place. There is no street no. or sign at bottom of driveway which is quite a steep, concrete right of way. Tight access also if you have a boat. Happily go back again.

Booked for 2 nights - only stayed for one !

Terrible damp smell in the property which we could not remove despite opening all windows. Very unsafe balcony and stairs - definitely not suitable for children. Views obscured by trees, so not as advertised. Toilet dirty and crockery dirty - no dishwasher so reliant on previous occupant to clean dishes.

Location was fantastic

Our family group really enjoyed our stay in Ngunguru. There are so many beautiful beaches and places to explore nearby and this made it for us. The house is very basic - your classic kiwi bach, but it had everything we needed. We had great communication with the property manager who responded quickly when we had a problem with the toilet and got someone to come and fix it.

Ngunguru is well located for enjoyment of Northlands east coast beaches

This house has a lovely view of the headland bush and is comfortable with a well stocked kitchen albeit aged crockery and facilities . Very comfortable beds, a quiet neighbourhood and bird song makes for good sleeping .Crazy stairs to the lower floor which requires the monitoing of aged and young people . The house needs an external rubbish bin for rubbish storage prior to departure ( you have to dispose of your own rubbish in the local transfer station). Maintenance is required - one door was damaged and there is broken outdoor furniture .For the price paid we did not expect to find that. More outdoor seats on the verandah would enable all visitors to enjoy the view . The property is accessed by a steep shared driveway -not for the faint hearted drivers. You have at least 5 beaches within 20 minutes drive which is perfect for a summer holiday and there are bush walks in many parts . Overall it was a pleasant stay in the height of summer holidays and we found the location perfect for day trips further north.

This was a great holiday home, well equiped and clean. Welcoming neighbours and a great location. The steep drive was a struggle for our car (when loaded) so recommend 4 wheel drive access. Had a fun time- thanks

House was clean and very well equipped. A heads up should be given regarding the steep drive, we couldn't get our 7m boat up and the 'plenty of lawn space' was there but you have to get around a tree in the middle. We had a great stay anyway.
