“Take your fishing rod!”
We LOVED EVERYTHING. THIS PLACE CAN NOT BE FAULTED. You walk in the front door, and you are greeted with views out the back door to the ocean. (Which is basically your back yard). Bed very comfortable. Good shower. Basic, but good kitchen amenities. + BBQ Caretakers Pam and Doug were brilliant.

“Peaceful location in Ahipara, fall asleep listening to the waves”
This is the second time we've stayed and have already booked to stay again. Great location in Ahipara, walk to shop, golf course and right on the beach in the village. Always clean and tidy, quiet and comfortable. Always nice to have beach towels and a good stock of shampoo etc. This time we stayed in the 2 bed apartment, was awesome to also have two bathrooms! Great for a family with teens! Both the hosts and the onsite managers are fabulous to deal with.

“Incredible!!”
We were impressed with everything. I loved that our hosts introduced themselves and let us know about the property and facilaties also things we could do if we had some down time. It was such easy access to the beach that we were out there every day for morning swims and walks. It absolutely exceeded our expectations, as we tend to travel often. Thank you Seaside Gem Whanau.

As soon as you walk in, you are taken aback with the view of the ocean directly infront. The studio was very comfortable and had everything you could want. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well set up, including a coffee pod machine with a great selection of pods. There also was a Webber to BBQ on. It was nice to have the facility to wash your clothes. There was a comfy couch to sit on and good TV selection.
