THE BOARDROOM CHALET

AnandoRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This was one of the best holidays we’ve had. As a family it was heaven for our child, and our wee family. Hayley and her family were amazing. The place was excellent. The pool was incredible. We had brilliant weather and swam at wainui beach - just a short walk or quick drive away - every day. Hayley had lots of recommendations for things to do, places to visit, and food etc. The place is perfectly laid out with everything we could want. Shops just down the road. Highly recommended venue for families and kids.

Gisborne Wainui Beachfront. Very Old basic house.

Camron was a great host and house location is 10/10. Overall all was good, suggest to come earlier or ask host to warm up the house (takes time to make it comfy).

Beachfront Wainui Large Home. No Pets!

brendanRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Stunning location right on the beach front, surf break out front, an absolute paradise. A quiet, peaceful and relaxing spot, with multiple indoor and outdoor areas to relax, a spa overlooking the ocean, we had a great stay thank you! The property manager Kaz was very responsive. Spa was awesome but needed some TLC. Multiple security camera's felt slightly invasive.

Wainui Beachfront - True Kiwi Bach - Gisborne

CarleenRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We really enjoyed our stay at George's place! While it is an old bach that is showing it's age in some places, it is comfortable and cozy with everything we could possibly have needed including a thoughtful array of snacks. And then there is the view which is UTTERLY STUNNING! Perched on the dunes overlooking the beach, the deck was a great place to watch the sunrise and then take a walk on the beautiful sand beach, play in the waves, watch the surfers...My one concern is the path from the bach deck to the beach which is pretty treacherous (a bit steep but I found that part fine). Path is overgrown with a haphazard array of possibly some previous steps made of concrete stones, wood, old tires (I think). Where the dirt and sand are exposed, it was pretty slippery after a rain. We gathered some "walking sticks" from the beach to use going up and down which helped. Still, this was not enough of an issue to deter our delight.

A serene outdoor seating area features two light blue adirondack chairs and a matching table. A shaded patio cover provides relief from the sun, while lush greenery and a view of the tranquil river create a peaceful setting.
