Mokino: Absolutely SENSATIONAL views !!!

""Best view in Mokau""

Upgraded Kiwi Bach , 5 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, (Sleeps 12)
Fabulous South and West views over Mokau Beach all the way past White Cliffs to Mt Taranaki, which our builder claims has the "Best view in Mokau". Stroll on spacious, wild and exhilarating black sand beaches with bleached driftwood and big surf. Warm and very cozy whatever the season and love the Sundowners ! You really won't want to go home.
_
"Mokino" is situated in a friendly cluster of 7 houses midway between Mokau and Awakino (each 3mins by car). Shared foot track provides direct access to the beach below, a right turn will bring you to a small cave and waterfall. Great fishing from the beach (kite/torpedo/drone) or cast a line at the Mokau or Awakino river mouths, also whitebait during season (September 1 to October 30). Excellent beach and cliff walks in the area (beach islands and loads of caves to explore). At high tide Mokau river has sheltered swimming/boating, particularly when sea is rough.

Bring your personal items, food, bed linen (sheets and pillow cases, maybe sleeping bags for kids) & towels. Plenty of Duvets, Blankets & Pillows are available. Great for 2 families, with 12 beds (3x queen doubles, 2x double/single bunks), and a further 2+ possible

We have used this accommodation on various occasions and it has always been fantastic as per description in the reviews. Although ours has been for work purposes - what better way to come "home" after a days work that to accommodation this close to the beach.
