Amazing getaway
This property is just perfect. Great location to beach. We booked both houses with our family of 10. This was by far the best set out we have had on our holidays around the country.

Pohara comfort
We had a great stay at the Pōhara accommodation. We were 2 families with children aged 8-14 and everyone was very happy with the space. Very tidy, comfortable and great location.

Extended family getaway
We had 12 people (3 generations) of family staying together so the property was ideal for that with the two separate houses joined by the carport and veranda. Beach access was easy through the holiday park and great facilities for cooking, washing, socialising etc.

Family bliss
We so enjoyed our stay at Pohara. The 2 units meant that the families could have space from each other when needed, but the lounge room, dining and outdoor tables in unit #2 were large enough to seat all 11 of us for together time. We had teething issue with a water pump and the owner was extremely responsive and communicated action promptly. The beach is beautiful. We enjoyed daily swimming and the short walk to the shop for real fruit ice-creams. Overall a lovely relaxing stay. Thank you

Beautiful Golden Bay. A true Kiwi holiday, so close to the beach were we had our paddle boards and swam. Everything we needed in our house were we could spread out with our grown up children and grand children. So much easier than tents :) Thank you for our first family Christmas away from home.
