Otaki Beach
We enjoyed our short stay at Otaki Beach and found plenty of interest there and in the surrounding areas. Chitra's house had everything we needed. The video collection is a treasure.

Great Stay
Great place to stay and location was perfect. One thing to take note of is there is no TV reception. We didn’t realise until the owner sent the paperwork a couple of days before we came over. Lots of DVDs however. It didn’t bother us at all but might do for someone with children. Other than that nice place, thank you.

A NIGHTMARE!!!
This home was very dirty, with cobwebs in many rooms. There were cockroaches and a horrific ant infestation. The owner, the day before our trip, said not to leave food out in the kitchen, as that attracts ants. We did that. I asked her to hire professional cleaners, but clearly no one cleaned it before we arrived. She said she left ant traps in the garden, but that was a lie. My leather purse in the bedroom was swarming with ants inside and outside of it, ruining numerous items. I have been trying to communicate with the owner about this, as I want a refund, but she is rudely ignoring me. We highly recommend NOT staying in this unhygienic, very dirty home filled with cockroaches and ants!!

Perfect summer break at the beach!
Peaceful, relaxing bach close to the beach. The back covered deck area is a perfect spot to read and even in the rain provided some nice shelter. Great record collection, books and magazines. Friendly host who made the whole experience an enjoyable one.

The back deck and garden were fabulous to sit and relax, the bach had lots of interesting books and records to enjoy and the beach and estuary were a short walk away. I highly recommend this bach for an easy get-away
