Mountain View Retreat

KarinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This was our second time staying here, and once again, we absolutely loved it! It's the perfect place to disconnect from the hustle and reconnect with nature. Peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by beauty—every moment feels like a breath of fresh air. It's also a great base to explore the stunning Karangahake Gorge and charming Waihi. The host is simply the best—welcoming, thoughtful, and always makes us feel right at home. We'll definitely be back again!

Tropical beach side cottage.

JordanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Our stay at Lynley’s place was absolutely incredible. The entire space was absolutely spotless and well stocked for a comfortable stay. We were able to make ourselves comfortable while on our travels with the beautiful outdoor space, spacious kitchen and living spaces. Sitting in the backyard you feel at peace in a beautifully decorated and private space. There are also great amenities, clean and functional kitchen and bathroom. There is plenty to go and see in the area and a great local town in Thames for shopping and food so it is a great central location for your travels. The hosts were super friendly and made sure our stay was perfect. We cannot recommend Lynley’s place enough, it is a beautiful place which you will find yourself wanting to visit again!

Beautiful house for big group. It has everything we need. Walking distance to the beautiful Waihi Beach. Due to the bad weather, we had table tennis and pool table to entertain us. Had a great family holiday in this big house. Will definitely come back if we have another big family gathering.

Perfect little accommodation for 2. Very comfortable and clean. Great location with water views and very central to everywhere with the main expressways only a minute drive away. My only feedback would be to provide an extra cleaning cloth in the kitchen lol Thanks Amanda 😁

Very beautiful location. A rustic but super comfortable space. The bed was brilliant and the house was lovely and warm, especially with the fire going! The fire heated outdoor bath was sensational and we loved relaxing down by river edge. We’ll be back!

Stunning location, right on the beach front with incredible views and the sound of the ocean on your doorstep. The views and location exceeded expectations. The house is nicely renovated and perfectly setup for a relaxing time away. We were extremely happy with the home and wish we could have stayed longer.

Executive Holiday Home in Prime Mount Location

JessicaRating, 5 stars6 months ago

The house was perfect for our group of 5 adults and was in an amazing location. There was plenty of space for everyone to lounge and relax, and we loved how close it was to the beach and great cafes in town. There is a small Four Square supermarket about 10 mins walking distance which has plenty of supplies (including Mount Sourdough Co bread!) and a larger New World supermarket that was a short drive away. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to cook meals at home, and for coffee making had both a French press and a coffee pod machine and a milk steamer. The Mount Surf Co sells coffee pods from Flight Coffee and was our favorite place to restock the pods. We loved our stay and would definitely return :)

Lifestyle house experience.

ClaradeRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Our big family had a great stay at Nathan’s place over the Easter weekend. There was lots to do including a hot tub, pool, dartboard, tennis court and games. Best yet, it is also home to lots of sheep and some chickens! During our stay we were able to enter the chicken coop and pick fresh eggs in the morning! Very lovely home and 100% would go back again.

An outdoor entertainment area features a wooden deck surrounded by greenery. Comfortable seating is arranged around a circular table, with a barbecue grill positioned on one side. Soft lighting creates a welcoming setting for relaxation and gatherings.
