About this property

The Verandah at Gisborne

This is a lovely spacious villa which has been furnished and decorated with families or groups to enjoy.
It is 5 minutes from Waikanae Beach or town and set in a quiet street. A short drive takes you to Wainui Beach. It is a great place from which to go on day trips to explore the East Coast.
Outdoor living is a feature with a roomy verandah, equiped for outdoor dining, and a large, fully fenced back lawn with outdoor furniture and shady trees , which makes it safe and private for families.
There is a large lounge and family room which make it ideal for families to share. The house has been used very satisfactorily for family groups celebrating family occasions or "get togethers" and for multiple family groups.
The park is very near and has a children's playground. It is also a great spot to walk or cycle, scooter from with the paved river walk nearby or bush/hill walks within close proximity.
Special conditions:
Available for short term rental throughout the year. No smoking inside or on Verandah.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$100.00per stay); Linen (included);

Great home for groups
Stayed at The Verandah in Feb 2024 to visit family. Great communication from Kathy. Easy check-in. Lots of room for 8 adults & a baby. Two lounge areas meant we were not on top of each other. Did not use the kitchen to make any meals but it was modern and well equipped. Older style home but that was expected from the photos. Bathrooms were serviceable except for the quirky design in the ensuite with a window over the sink and the mirror to one side. However our stay was very comfortable as beds were great. Cons: House would benefit from a spring clean & good airing, and wardrobes near to be cleared for guests to use.
