Summary: Our family (3 adults, 1 teen) spent a lovely chill Christmas week at this quirky and beautiful property which looks as though it has been built and decorated through a labour of love over many years. Colourful and delightful everywhere inside. Plenty of comfy spots to stretch out with a book or board game in the house, deck, lawn or patio. Hammock and loungers under a tree were a particular highlight in blistering HB heat. Beach is about 1km walk away, via ice creams at the dairy. Hosts were super helpful and unobtrusive and very welcoming of our small dog. Visitors should be aware there are a couple of bnbs on the wider property as well as livestock (sheep, goats, ducks, geese, roosters) so there are a few comings and goings outside the fence but it’s all part of the charm. Kitchen doesn’t have a lot of space but we managed a week of family meals including Christmas dinner without much hassle. Would recommend to anyone looking for a wee break in a unique location.

Summary: Our family truly enjoyed our time at this very unique accommodation at Waimarama. The location is very private amongst lovely gardens. The hosts George & Marina were welcoming and clearly made a special effort to create this lovely artisan oasis. Endless attention to detail with every corner. The linen and bedding were top quality too! A short stroll down to Waimarama shop & beach. Friendly dogs nearby on host property… my family really enjoyed our 3 days here. Thank you ❤️

Summary: We had a really great time at the chalet! The kids (6 and under) loved the play house, the “tree house bedroom” and all the toys and books to keep them busy. Thank you for the tour of the gardens - we all loved seeing the birds and young chicks and thanks also for the cucumbers and plums from your garden. The property is so child friendly, we could really relax and let the kids explore and enjoy. Thanks for a great stay.

Summary: Gorgeous chalet In garden setting with so many sheltered areas to discover. Families of all ages will find this a treat. The garden is also very secluded and securely fenced so we were able to bring our dog along too. It’s a nice walk up to beaches and a dairy. A beautiful place to relax whatever you enjoy. But an absolute fantasy castle for children. So many gorgeous treasures to discover. Thank you for creating and sharing this very special place.

Summary: Pros: Whimsical style of accomodation ideally suit young family with toddlers, we had teenagers unfortunately. Great location, Waimarama Beach township and beach second to none. Fully and well fenced property Cons: Very weak wi fi, parts of inside house without service, dropped in and out frequently losing connection, not great with teenagers. Few missing things in the kitchen. e.g. grater Insufficient toilet paper, dishwashing and washing powder supplied for any length of stay, e.g. x1 dishwasher tablet and x1 sachet of washing powder. Host popped over one to many times during stay. Good batch hosts should be accessible if needed but never visiting multiple times while guests are staying otherwise risks becoming overbearing and intrusive Extraordinary number of cobwebs and flies throughout the batch, few too many cockroaches in the kitchen and BBQ area also. House wasn’t unclean but perhaps a consequence of the free range chicken, rooster and geese bird park enclosure onsite. Upon arrival, but not informed prior, confronted with contract regarding booked and paid for dog, that needed to be signed. Also received text message and personal visit from host during stay seeking contract signing. Originally booked for a dog, no mention of contracts. Dog rules included forbiding leaving our dog in the fully fenced yard for any length of time by its self. This really impacts and limits holiday activities:- beach swims, dinner or brunch out, going to corner store for ice creams or milk, bikes rides around the village, vineyard visits, etc as required to take dog everywhere all of the time, in Hawke’s Bay summer heat that’s not really possible always as way too hot to leave a dog in a car so this surprise rule had a huge impact on our holiday. Had we known there was a page of rules like this for pets, pitched as a contract needing to be signed, we would not have booked this property. Responsible dog owners but felt approach here a bit overbearing and misleading . Property getting a little tired and worn in places, not evident in photos. Noisey roosters, geese and dog on site. kept awake two of the four nights we stayed by hosts dog barking until 11:27pm and 11:00pm respectively, woken every morning in the 5am hour by roosters and geese. Please be aware onsite bird park comes with noise, as does hosts dog. Hosts also live on site. Paid almost two grand for this stay but sadly didn’t leave feeling value for money.
