Great Location
Lovely stay at the Boathouse. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. The property itself was surprisingly bigger than expected and aesthetically really nice. Shower was awesome.Privacy was on the low side so if you are looking for solitude/separation this is not the property for you. Great appointment for beach/river access and shops are. 3 min walk away. Thanks for the stay.

Modern, spotless, well located and friendly open setting
We had a lovely stay in the boat house. The facilities in the house are excellent and cleanliness was five star. The owners and their children were very friendly, and we especially adored their dog. Owners were really helpful with local tips and loan of beach towels and their outside coffee table! The boat house in the back garden of the main house, so it is an open setting and you live alongside the (lovely) young family. We adored the dog and kids so felt very comfortable sharing the space with them and had a lovely stay. Highly recommend for your Oākura visit!

A great stay, very large for a one bedroom property. Just a stones throw to the beautiful beach, and a very short walk to local shops & eateries. Would absolutely recommend.

Beautiful bach, easy walk to beach
This was the perfect clean, well stocked bach I was hoping for. Due to surrounding houses etc, it didn't feel the most private retreat ever, but my wife and I loved our stay.

Very nice accommodation in a great location !
What an amazing place. We had a great experience with a fabulous host who thought of everything we might need and more. We were so comfortable and relaxed. Just steps from a gorgeous beach and close enough to hear the surf from the yard. We can’t wait to go back !
