Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect beach get away Great tidy spot super close to the beach. Great for dogs with the property being fully fenced - really enjoyed our stay! ##### Teeana T. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kym F. Jan 15, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We enjoyed our stay at this Ōtaki Beach bach and found it to be a comfortable and practical place for a coastal getaway. The location is excellent—just a short walk to the beach—and check-in was seamless. Off-street parking was available and convenient, although it was a tight squeeze between the new deck and the fence.The home itself is spacious, well laid out, and feels hardwearing in a good, classic bach way. One of the main reasons we booked was that it is dog-friendly, which was a real bonus. The beds were comfortable and met expectations for a relaxed beach stay.The only area that could use improvement is the outdoor space. The yard was quite overgrown and would benefit from weeding and a mow, and the deck area could be tidied up to better match the quality of the interior.Overall, it was an enjoyable stay in a great location, and with a bit of attention to the grounds, this property would be even better. ##### Kym F. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie B. Mar 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Get away Lovely clean bach, cool Reno with everything you need. ##### Julie B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kauriki H. Dec 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Spacious place just enough for me and my family. Near the beach is what we wanted which was great. Beds were comfortable enough and nice large shower with good water pressure. ##### Kauriki H.
