Plenty of space for kids to run, manu off the wharf if you've got the guts! Horses roam freely here, be aware when driving in, a blessing to get a pat. Where puppies play on the tidal flats, they just love a belly scratch. The sky and stars were stunning most nights made it hard to want to go to bed. Its just never enough time, and so hard to leave the beautiful sunrises and sunsets behind us, but its not forever..we'll be back!! Looking forward to next time, much love for hosting us and thankyou from our whanau. ##### Phoenix S.

We had a wonderful time and can't wait to come back to the Far North. ##### Renee I. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Yue 22 Nov 2022 not many choices near cape reinga, so it jas to be ok ##### Yue Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Thomas F. 26 Feb 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location #### Needs deep cleaning It would appear to be a fairly poor town. The place was quiet, but it smelled of urine. It just needs a deep, deep cleaning and repainting to begin with. Lodging is limited in this area, but this was pretty bad. Not up to VRBO standards that we are used to. ##### Thomas F. Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick L. 5 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good Location for Fishing Generally speaking, this bach house is ideal for fishing. However, we had a bad experience arguing with a couple of Maori guys living in that area. At the Te Hapua jetty, they told us the jetty is a private one , not public, so do not fish here. Go away right now. I think this is truly ridiculous. ##### Patrick L. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas B. 6 May 2025 ##### Thomas B.
