Quality and Peace of Mind

Everything about the accommodation speaks to excellent quality and peace of mind. The place is extremely well kept, clean and located in a peaceful environment, yet close to local shops and the Northland areas that are well worth visiting.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sea Breeze - beautiful, quiet surroundings, and a great location for those heading to Cape Reinga and 90 Mile Beach. Spotlessly clean and all the facilities you could wish for. Local restaurant and Four Square just a quick stroll from the house.

Great place to stay! Clean & tidy property with plenty of room inside and out. Really central to boat ramp and shops/fuel, a bonus being back off road. Hosts very helpful and friendly. We will be back again. Many thanks ☺️

Sea Breeze Vacation

The Best New Zealand bach experience we’ve had. Everything was perfect, so comfortable and very clean. The home and surrounding gardens were both beautifully done, easy, and relaxing. A great place to access cape Reinga areas and southern beaches as well as locations to the west. Next time we will stay longer!

Property is everything it promises to be and more. Hosts kept in contact, the home was spic and span with lots of nice, personal, touches. Heaps of room (including turning) for our boat, kayaks, etc. Idyllic setting which was an easy walk to the wharf, cafe and shop. Nothing bad to say!

modern family house, close to everything

The house was great for our family. Our 3 little kids loved running around on the large lawn and exploring the fruit tree orchard. The house is well set out and has everything you need. Carol is great with communication which made it easy to find the property and the keys when we arrived late at night. Highly recommend. thank you.
