Kawhia with a view
We totally enjoyed our stay in the bach at Kawhia, the track up to it was a bit daunting (but we did well for a couple of oldies), and once up there and settled the view made it very worthwhile. Watching the harbour from the bedroom window just a treat. Very comfortable to stay in, had some very nice walks and some lovely relaxing time too.

Just what the Dr ordered
A superb little bolt hole for a rest & recovery break. Views forever over Kawhia harbour and just over the road to the store & local pub with the great locals. The cottage has everything you need and the fireplace was lovely on the cooler nights. Shannon was a great communicator and everything was how it was written. We will definitely be back.

Highly recommended
Cute cottage with loads of character. Amazing views over the harbour and town, nice spot for a wine on the deck watching the sunset. Perfect place for our wedding anniversary, and enjoyed digging for hot pools on the beach and quirky little Kawhia town.
Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023
