Birthday Retreat
We had such a great time in Awhitu, the house is great for large groups with uts extensive balcony & lounge areas. So close to your own private beach which is great for an early morning walk around to the boat ramp. Highly recommend staying here, host & mamager very easy to deal with too!

Beautiful place to escape to
Great house for a big group of people. The 11 kids running around had heaps of space inside and outside. Greta to have easy access to beach and a nice walk down to local park. Well equipped kitchen, comfy big beds, beautiful views, loved the dead end balcony which was safe for kids to run around on, would definitely come back!!

The Perfect Family Getaway
A great secluded place for a family to celebrate a birthday. Breath taking views from the deck and a much needed getaway for the family. Very spacious and had all the facilities that we needed for the weekend. Kids just loved how much room the house had especially the bunks. Easy access to the beach side and good to see the kids out in nature and away from their devices. Apart from the long drive (great scenic route) there was nothing I could fault on this beautiful two story home! I would definitely come back. I have already shared this place to family and friends that if needing a holiday...this is the place to be.
