Best location ever! Property is a bit dated bit clean and warm and brilliantly located on a stunning beach only 30 minutes from Whangārei if that.

View was beautiful and relaxing. Ross and Shelley were so nice and friendly. Although there are no stores nearby, they do offer the necessities at the office. It was great having a full kitchen. We would definitely recommend staying at The Sands.

Stunning scenery!! My children and I fell in love with the sounds of crashing waves while we drifted off to sleep. Out of the way place. Perfect. Easy to check in and easy to check out. Cheers
