Summary: We wanted a quiet place to relax and this was what we got. Comfortable, colourful, so close to the varied bird life on Waimanu Lagoon, and to the beach and river for walking. It was a lucky find. I'd travel from Auckland again to stay there.

Summary: The house is perfect for a small family, but the location is the real draw. The Waimanu Lagoon at the back door is stunning and peaceful and filled with a multitude of birds. From the front door is it short stroll to Waikanae Beach and all that it offers.

Summary: The bach is right on the beautiful lagoon, you could easily spend a day just sitting on the back deck just watching the birds. The inside is cosy, with everything you need in a holiday home. The owner is great, with speedy communication, and lots of helpful info.
