We live at the end of a cul-de-sac street, with a stunning view over the native bush and you can see the Te Haumi river meandering through the mangroves. Far away from the big city noise but so close to town for excursions, restaurants, adventures, history and even if it's just for drinks. Ferries just 5 min away, boat ramp just 2 min away! Perfect family home! We got already 70 plus excellent reviews from other booking websites - don't hesitate to book now. Our house sleeps easily 10 adults (2 in each room plus living room), and we have one small rollaway available, the couch can be used as a sleeping spot and we have a cot on request. If you book for 12 adults, be aware this is just a 4 bedroom house. We had many groups staying that were active outdoors all day and only retired for the night - so this comes then as a bargain. Otherwise, you can easily sleep 8 adults and 4 children (the bunk bed is a regular single mattress on top, double mattress and move-out trundler) plus rollaway bed in wardrobe and cot in wardrobe. Please note, that the amount of bathrooms stays the same: 1 toilet, one bathroom and one shower with toilet. Both rollaway and cot free of charge but please let us know you require them to be set up and we happily assist with this. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Car recommended - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - Area rugs in public areas - Front entrance ramp - In-room accessibility - No lift (single-level property) - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Thin carpet in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Outside only ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea - On a river ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 10% of profits reinvested in community and sustainability - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Biodegradable coffee stirrers available - Biodegradable drinking straws available - Bulk dispensers for toiletries - Composting - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Electric car charging station - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Housekeeping (on request) - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - No plastic soft drink bottles - No plastic water bottles - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Solar energy - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 1,507 square feet - Water dispenser usage encouraged - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM Contactless check-out ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs and cats only 2 total pets Restrictions apply; for more information contact the property on the number on the booking confirmation ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed Please no loud noise outside after 10pm ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted Outside only ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

Beautiful views from the deck. Truly lovely. Very Helpful friendly hosts who let us use their hair dryer and straightener. Much appreciated. Comfortable beds. Only a minor issue for me on one of the single beds with the sheets. I wondered if the sheets were synthetic as they felt very hot. ##### Grant and Justine A.

It was a tidy, modern property that was well stocked with towels, toiletries and kitchen basics. We were expecting a 4 bedroom standalone house but it was 3 bedroom with the owners staying underneath. Garden was lovely with deck to sit on to hear the tuis. Host was very friendly and helpful and provided fresh eggs and milk. ##### Catherine J.
