About this property

Great spot out the Cape. 3 bedroom house, great views, overlooking the Ocean with the 3 Steeples and the Famous hole in the rock. , Best two person shower with a view. Just a short stroll to the stunning Seal colony walkway leading to great surf spots, Tauranga bay and nine mile. A short walk to the famous Star tavern for some good service, local beers and food. I own a surf school so if you want a lesson or just to hire let me know, we also have paddleboards to explore the stunning rivers.

Excellent location and advise

Great set up for a group of 6. We enjoyed the fire as the evening was cold. The walk to the nearby Star Tavern was a bonus and we enjoyed some West Coast hospitality. A visit to the lighthouse and also the seal colony highly recommended.

Hole in the Rock

Great place to stay and comfortable for a couple of couples. Shame the heaters are at the end of their used by date and didn’t really have much effect on the first night. We burnt plenty of wood the first night to heat the house up as was reasonably chilly the first night. Thankfully the sun came out for the next few days and only needed the fire at night time. We burnt all the firewood that we could find in the 4 nights we were there. Couldn’t get the range hood to go and there are wires sticking out of it and not terribly clean. Perhaps the purchase of a bottle opener would be helpful and a serving spoon. TV only has Netflicks and TV 3 but couldn’t get it to go as browser needed up dating. Book has a few pages doubled up perhaps some explanation as what you can get on the tv and how it works would mean you don’t need to contact manger about it Beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.
