With a white sand beach just a stroll away, ideal for all water activities/fishing, the 9 hole golf course/tennis courts just over the road, and the river a short distance down the road, there is something for everyone. The township has all the amenities you need: Dairy, Takeaways, Coffee Cart, Petrol, Pub & Meals at the Country Club on Friday. Our house sleeps 13 - 3x bedrooms +bunk room, with loads of space outside for tents or a caravans. We have one double fold out bed in the bunk room, but linen is not provided for this. The house has multiple outdoor areas, three decks, all equipped with furniture, to allow larger groups to spread out and enjoy some quiet time. The large front lawn can securely accommodate your boat, jetski or cars, or simply provide an extra area to sprawl out, maybe playing a few outdoor games, which we provide. We have two toilets, one indoor shower and one out door shower (not private), plus a washing machine and dryer. The master bedroom has a sofa, television with Apple TV, and the living room has a 55" TV with Apple TV, DVD Player, Freeview and Chromecast. We have multiple board games available. The kitchen is very well equipped, you'll find most things you need for baking, frying, roasting, boiling and general catering, with a 6 Burner BBQ on the deck. The dining room table only seats 6, however, we have bar stools and the 6 seater outdoor setting, with additional stools for larger groups. If you're lucky enough to catch a fish, we have a fish filleting bench at the back of the house. We've had multiple groups, of all sizes, stay in our home, all with 5 star feedback; we'd love to share it with you. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Smooth flooring in public areas - Thin carpet in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Golf - Tennis - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hunting nearby - Motor boating nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Garden - Local artist showcase - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic soft drink bottles - No plastic water bottles - Recycling - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Vegetarian dining options ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35530000/35527400/35527366/5a54c465.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### On the beach, fully equipped new unit with disabled access at the Marine Reserve Blackhead - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 42 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-29&endDate=2026-01-30&selected=35527366&PinnedHotelID=35527366&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109530000/109524500/109524421/3d2b5b13.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Escape to a secluded slice of riverside paradise in central Hawkes Bay, NZ Otane - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-29&endDate=2026-01-30&selected=109524421&PinnedHotelID=109524421&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38010000/38001600/38001504/31a78061.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach & village a stone throw away!
