Lovely clean house, beautiful location we really enjoyed our stay, comfortable for 7 adults on a rainy visit to the bay Would love to come back when the sun is shining to really enjoy the beach and water
Response from Owner
hi Karen Thanks for your 5 star review. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay despite the weather. You're very welcome to stay again at Pohara Surf and Turf and hopefully we can turn on better weather next time. A note of thanks too from the cleaners for leaving the house so clean and tidy. regards Christina

We had a really great stay here over Matariki weekend. The house is really spacious and warm. It had everything that we needed and we enjoyed a warm, dry weekend.
