The beach at your door
This is as close to the sand as a holiday home gets. Every room opens onto a flat lawn, and from the lawn it's a few steps down to Kuaotunu Beach.
Guests swim, kayak and walk the beach end to end straight from the house. They fall asleep to the surf, watch the sunset from the deck, and every so often see something special in the bay: one guest saw orca swimming past.
When it's time for dinner, Luke's Kitchen, the café and the Kuaotunu Store are an easy walk along the beach or the footpath, so the car can stay where it is.

Michelle
The setting is amazing, small garden then down a few steps to the beach. Check in was simple and everything you need to know is laid out. Not sure about the TV and casting as we don't watch TV! Unfortunately we only found the games and puzzles on our last day when doing a final check through Great cafe and store 10 minutes along the beach with good local coffee. Kūaotuna is a quiet, unspoilt village.Serena responded very promptly to all our messages, especially when there was a systems glitch with our booking. Plenty of heaters, rugs and cushions. We had a perfect winter weekend getaway and have already booked to come back!Thank you for sharing your home.

Good to know
What happens after I book?
Whichever site you book through, we then send you a link to our guest portal. That's where you complete a short check-in form and get the door code and house guide, and where a refundable NZ$250 security deposit is taken as a hold on your card before check-in. It's a separate step from Airbnb or Booking.com, so it's worth doing before you set off.
Can we bring children?
We recommend the house for guests aged 12 and over, because of its large glass windows and the unfenced beach right in front.
Can we bring our dog?
Sorry, no pets.
Is the house easy to find?
The entrance is a private driveway set back from the road, and a couple of guests have found it easy to miss, so slow down as you get close.
Is there a TV?
Yes: a 32-inch TV with SKY On Demand, a Chromecast for streaming from your phone, and a DVD player. There are also books, games and puzzles.
