#### Mid winter getaway
Perfect location for us coming from Te Awamutu for a quick one nighter at the beach. Stayed on matariki and how winderful because the stars were very visable. As a dog friendly property we took our small doggo and he went nuts on the beach. We enjoyed it so much, thank you and we want to make a regular thing of it.

#### Mokino: Absolutely SENSATIONAL views !!!
Yes, Mokino: Absolutely SENSATIONAL views !!! and Bookabach ask, did you enjoy your stay? Yes, I did as I do each time I stay. This is about my 5th or 6th stay at Mokino over the last 10 years with the previous visit just 12 months ago. The views of the beach and of a cloudless Mt Egmont at sunset are tremendous. The sound of the waves on the beach at night was so relaxing after the time spent on the beach each day with the climb up and down the path to and from the bach with the walk to the mouth of the Awakino river a couple of times a day all adding to the appreciation of the stay and the surroundings. I will come back to experiance it all again.
